Inserting PC Cards
OK. You’ve bought your first PC Card and want to install it. This
section describes how to install the card.
Windows 95 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 Windows 95.
The PC Card slot has two PC Card sockets. You may insert Type I
or Type II cards into either the upper or lower socket. You may
only insert a Type III card into the lower socket. Inserting a
Type III card takes up all the space for both sockets—you cannot
have a Type III card installed with any other card.
Each PC Card socket is covered by a PC Card socket protector.
These protectors prevent dust or other foreign materials from dam-
aging the sockets. Remove the socket protector before inserting a
PC Card. If you’re inserting a Type III card, you’ll need to remove
both PC Card socket protectors. Set the protectors aside, as you’ll
want to use them after you remove the PC Card.
To insert a PC Card, follow these steps:
1 Locate the PC Card slot on the left side of the computer.
