Inserting a PC Card
In Windows 95, you do not have to shut down or restart the
computer to insert and use a PC Card.
In Windows NT, you must restart the computer after inserting
some cards, for example, LAN and SCSI. Refer to the online
Help in CardWare and to the documentation included with the
card to learn whether you must restart the computer after
inserting your card.
To insert a PC Card:
1. With the connector facing in and the label facing up, align the
PC Card with the guide rails in the PC Card slot.
2. Gently push the card into the slot until it is seated.
CAUTION:
Forcing a PC Card into the slot can damage the
connectors.
Inserting a PC Card
In Windows 95, the computer beeps twice when the card is ready
for use.
In Windows NT, the computer beeps three times in ascending
tones when the card is recognized and may be ready for use.
NOTE:
If the system beeps volume has been turned down, you may
not hear the beeps.
