Installing PC Cards
PC Cards are installed in the PC Card slot (the lower of the two slots). To install a PC Card:
1
See your PC Card manual for instructions on the installation of your card. Some cards may require that your
notebook is off while installing them.
2
Make sure there is no PC Card currently in the slot. If there is, see Removing PC Cards.
3
If the eject button is extended, press it until it clicks.
4
Insert the card into the slot with the label facing up.
5
Push the card firmly into the slot until it is seated in the connector.
Removing PC Cards
See your PC Card manual for specific instructions on removing your card. Some cards may require your
notebook to be in Standby Mode or Off during removal.
