2. With the label side up, insert the 68-pin connector side of the
PC Card into the slot, pushing gently until firmly seated.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the connectors, use minimal
pressure when inserting a PC Card into a PC Card slot.
If you are running Windows 95 or later and your computer is on,
the computer automatically configures a plug and play card and
most other PC Cards. If the computer is turned off or in Suspend,
a card is not configured until you turn on the computer or exit
Suspend.
Windows NT is not plug and play. If you are running Windows
NT 4.0 without CardWare, the computer configures a card only
when it is in the PC Card slot when the computer is turned on. The
computer only recognizes that a PC Card has been removed if the
card is out of the slot when the computer is turned on.
After the computer has configured the card, the computer beeps
twice to indicate that the card is ready for use.
IMPORTANT:
After the PC Card has been inserted and configured, it
may be necessary to perform an initial setup procedure. For
example, a new storage card may need to be formatted or a new
network card may need drivers installed. For detailed information
on setup procedures for various Network PC Cards, refer to the
instructions provided by the PC Card manufacturer.
