Configuring a PC Card Adapter
If you purchased a PC Card adapter with your system, it was installed before shipment. To use
the PC Card adapter, you may have to install the driver software and any associated application
software programs.
Depending on your system’s configuration, you may have to reserve an interrupt request (IRQ)
for a PC Card device inserted in the PC Card adapter. See Chapter 11, “BIOS Setup,” for
information on reserving IRQs in your system’s BIOS. See the documentation delivered with
the PC Card adapter or device for detailed software installation and configuration instructions.

Windows NT, you can use the Windows NT Backup tool to run the tape drive; select
Programs/Administrative Tools/Backup from the Start menu.
See the documentation delivered with the tape drive for configuration instructions. See the
device documentation, operating system documentation, and Help for information on using the
tape drive.

Configuring External SCSI Peripherals
The optional SCSI adapter is designed to support Fast SCSI-2 devices. If you connect
SCSI-1 devices to the adapter, data transfer rates are limited to the device’s speed.
CAUTION
Using a non-compliant SCSI-1 device with your system may cause your system to stop
working, or lead to other unpredictable results.
