- Using ExpressCards
See your ExpressCard manual for instructions on the installation of your card. Some cards may require that your
notebook is off while installing them.
To install an ExpressCard, follow these steps:
1 When not in use, you should keep the ExpressCard plug inserted in the slot to help prevent system contamination.
2 Make sure there is no ExpressCard or ExpressCard plug currently in the slot. If there is, see Removing ExpressCards.
3 If the eject button is extended, press it in until it clicks.
4 Insert your ExpressCard into the slot with the product label facing up.
5 Push the card firmly into the slot until it is seated in the connector.
Removing ExpressCards
See your ExpressCard manual for specific instructions on removing your card. Some cards may require your notebook
to be in Standby Mode or Off during removal.
To remove an ExpressCard, unlock the card or card plug from the slot by pressing it in, then releasing it. This will eject
the card slightly out of the slot, allowing you to remove it.
