Installing Express/PC Cards
See your Express Card or PC Card manual for instructions on the installation of your card. Some cards
may require that your notebook is off while installing them.
To install an Express Card or PC Card (depending upon which card slot is present on your system), follow
these steps:
1 When not in use, you should keep the Express Card or PC Card plug inserted in the slot to prevent system
contamination. Make sure there is no card or plug currently in the slot. If there is, see Removing Express/PC
Cards.
2 If the eject button is extended, press it in until it clicks.
3 Insert your card into the slot with the product label facing up.
4 Push the card firmly into the slot until it is seated in the connector.
• INSTALLING OR REMOVING AN EXPRESS CARD OR PC CARD DURING YOUR NOTEBOOK’S SHUTDOWN
OR BOOTUP PROCESS MAY DAMAGE THE CARD AND/OR YOUR NOTEBOOK.
• DO NOT INSERT AN EXPRESS CARD OR PC CARD INTO A SLOT IF THERE IS WATER OR ANY OTHER
SUBSTANCE ON THE CARD AS YOU MAY PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE CARD, YOUR NOTEBOOK, OR
BOTH.
