DELL CONFI DENTI AL – PRELI MI NARY 1/29/03 – FOR PROOF ONLY

1 Hold the card with its orientation symbol pointing into the slot and

the top side of the card facing up. The latch may need to be in the "in"

position before you insert the card.

2 Slide the card into the slot until the card is completely seated in its

connector.

If you encounter too much resistance, do not force the card. Check the

card orientation and try again.

The computer recognizes most PC Cards and automatically loads the

appropriate device driver. If the configuration program tells you to load the

manufacturer's drivers, use the floppy disk or CD that came with the PC

Card.

Removing a PC Card or Blank

NOTI CE: Use the PC Card configuration utility on the taskbar to select

a card and stop it from functioning before you remove it from the computer. If

you do not stop the card in the configuration utility, you could lose data. Do not

attempt to eject a card by pulling its cable, if one is attached.

1 Press the eject button.
