Inserting and removing PC Cards
Your Tecra 8100 computer comes with two stacked PC Card slots
and supports three types of PC Cards:
❖
Type I cards and Type II cards are used for modems, fax/
modems, data storage, network cards, and more. You can
install up to two of these cards, one in each slot.
❖
Type III cards are used for removable hard disks and other
functions that require a larger card. You can install just one of
these cards.
Inserting a PC Card
Before you insert your PC Card, read through the documentation
that comes with the card to see if you need to do anything before
you insert it.
CAUTION: Your Tecra 8100 computer came with all the Card
and Socket Services programs you need. Even if your PC
Card comes with its own version of Card and Socket
Services, you should use the files provided on your
computer.
To insert a PC Card:
NOTE: If your operating system is Windows NT, you must
turn off the computer before inserting PC Cards.
1 Locate the PC Card slot on the left side of the computer.
2 If the PC Card slots are locked, unlock them by turning the
computer over, locating the PC Card lock, removing the
retaining screw, sliding the lock into the unlocked position,
and replacing the screw.
