Installation
Hardware Installation
The ExpressCard adapter will simply slide into the ExpressCard slot on any compatible system.
Push the card all the way in, until it ‘clicks’ and locks into place. To eject the card, simply push the
card further into the slot until it clicks, and then release and it will then be ejected from the slot.
NOTE: Some ExpressCard/54 slots do not firmly hold an ExpressCard/34 module, so a 34mm to
54mm stabilizer bracket may be necessary (StarTech.com ID: ECBRACKET).
