The computer recognizes the ExpressCard 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 ExpressCard.

Removing an ExpressCard or Blank

NOTICE:

Use the ExpressCard configuration utility (click the

icon in 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.

CAUTION:

Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the

Product Information Guide.

Press the latch and remove the card or blank. For some latches, you must press the latch twice:

once to pop the latch out, and then a second time to pop the card out.
Save a blank to use when no ExpressCard is installed in a slot. Blanks protect unused slots from

dust and other particles.
