Using PC Cards
PC Card supporting software
PC Cards require Card and Socket Services software — a set
of programs that acts as a translator between the PC Card and
the computer, and that makes hot swapping (switching cards
while the computer is on) possible.
The operating system provides the Card and Socket Services
for your PC Card. Even if your PC Card comes with its own
version of Card and Socket Services, you should use the files
included in the operating system.
Inserting PC Cards
NOTE
Before you insert a PC Card, refer to the documentation that
comes with the card to see if you need to do anything before
you insert it.
To insert a PC Card:
1
Turn off the computer.
You may also hot swap a PC Card (see
page
2
Align the card connectors with the PC Card slot and
carefully slide the card into the slot until it locks into
place.
Use caution when lifting or turning your computer. Failure to
do so may result in damage to components, such as cables,
attached to your computer, or to the computer itself.
