Chapter 3. Connecting the PCMCIA PortaCD-RW to a
Windows System
This chapter explains how to connect the PCMCIA PortaCD-RW to an IBM PC
compatible computer that utilizes PCMCIA card technology.
(For information on connecting the USB PortaCD-RW to a PC compatible
computer that features a USB port, see “Chapter 2. Connecting the USB PortaCD-
RW Drive to a Windows System” on page 9.)
Connecting the PCMCIA PortaCD-RW Drive to a PC
Please read the following instructions thoroughly. The installation procedure
varies depending on the operating system you are using.
1. Connect the
PCMCIA
cable plug to the interface connector on the side
panel of the PortaCD-RW (Figure 23).
2. Do not insert the
PCMCIA
card into the computer at this time.
With Windows 98SE/Me/2000, the PortaCD-RW enables you to perform a
“hot swap” installation while the computer is powered on. You will insert the
card for the first time later as part of the software installation procedure.
3. Connect the AC adapter cable to the AC power input on the PortaCD-
RW drive (Figure 23).
