Inserting a PC Card
Use caution when lifting or turning your computer. Failure to
do so may result in damage to components, such as cables,
attached to your computer, or to the computer itself.
Before you insert a PC Card, refer to the documentation that
comes with the card to see if you need to do anything before
you insert it.
To insert a PC Card:
1
Turn off the computer.
You may also hot swap a PC Card. Stop the PC Card by
clicking the
Safely Remove Hardware
icon on the System
Tray. After the PC Card is stopped, it is safe to remove.
2
Locate the PC Card slot on the left side of the computer.
3
If the PC Card slots are locked, unlock them by turning
the computer over, locating the PC Card lock and sliding
the lock into the unlocked position.
