Your computer shipped with a plastic blank installed in the PC Card slot. Blanks protect unused slots from dust and other particles. Save the blank for use

when no PC Card is installed in the slot; blanks from other computers may not fit your computer.

To remove the blank, see

Extended PC Cards

An extended PC Card (for example, a wireless network adapter) is longer than a standard PC Card and extends outside the computer. Follow these

precautions when using extended PC Cards:

Protect the exposed end of an installed card. Striking the end of the card can damage the system board.

Always remove an extended PC Card before you pack the computer in its carrying case.

Install an extended card in the upper PC Card connector to allow room for a second PC Card.

Installing a PC Card

CAUTION:

Guide.

You can install a PC Card in the computer while the computer is running. The computer automatically detects the card.

PC Cards are generally marked with a symbol (such as a triangle or an arrow) to indicate which end to insert into the slot. The cards are keyed to prevent

incorrect insertion. If card orientation is not clear, see the documentation that came with the card.

To install a PC Card:

1. Hold the card with its orientation symbol pointing into the slot and the top side of the card facing up. The latch needs to be in the "in" position before

you insert the card.

2. Slide the card into the slot until the card is completely seated in its connector.

If you encounter too much resistance, do not force the card. Check the card orientation and try again.
