PC Card checklist
❖ Make sure the card is inserted properly into the slot.
See “Directing the display output when you turn on the
computer” on page 187 for how to insert PC Cards.
❖ Make sure all cables are securely connected.
❖ Occasionally a defective PC Card slips through quality
control. If another PCMCIA-equipped computer is
available, try the card in that machine. If the card
malfunctions again, it may be defective.

The System Properties window appears.
3 Click the Hardware tab.
4 Click the Device Manager button.
5 Double-click the appropriate category for the PC Card
being used.

The operating system displays your PC Card’s Properties
window, which contains information about your PC Card
configuration and status.
