The PCMCIA compatible card sockets are located on the right side of the WinBook FX. Refer to
the right view illustration in Chapter 2,
System Tour.[FX 6-4]
Inserting a PCMCIA Compatible Card
Drop the panel door to access the PCMCIA sockets.
Hold the PCMCIA compatible card with the arrow side up and the connector side toward the
socket.
Insert the card into the appropriate socket. The top socket is socket 1; the bottom socket is
socket 2. When the card is fully seated, the black eject button located on the right side of the
socket will pop out.
Note: There are 2 eject buttons, 1 per socket.
To remove a PCMCIA card, press the eject button, and the WinBook FX will eject the PCMCIA
card from the socket.
NOTE:
You can leave your PCMCIA cards in the WinBook FX for safe storage; however, this
will be an extra drain on your battery. Many PCMCIA cards draw quite a bit of power when
plugged in. There are cards that automatically power down when they are idle. Check with your
PC card vendor to see if their products support power conservation features. If not, you may
want to remove the cards when not in use.[FX 6-5]
