Hold the PCMCIA card with the arrow side up and the connector side toward the
socket.
Align the card connectors with the socket and carefully slide into the socket until it
locks into place. The system will beep once to indicate that it has detected the PC
card.
To remove a PC card push the eject button, the button will pop out, push the button
again to eject the PCMCIA.
When inserting a Type II PC card, make sure the connector is inserted in the
socket. Before ejecting a PC card, ensure that it is not being accessed by the
System.
For example, if the message “Write protect error writing Drive x” is
displayed, the user has to change the write protect switch setting on the
memory card. To change the switch setting, (a) eject the card, (b) change the
switch setting, and (c) re-insert the card.
