Installation
Hardware Installation
The ExpressCard adapter will simply slide into the ExpressCard slot on any compatible
system. Push the card all the way in, until it ‘clicks’ and locks into place. To eject the
card, simply push the card further into the slot until it clicks, and then release and it will
then be automatically ejected from the slot.
Turning the computer off to insert/remove ExpressCard adapters is not necessary as
they are hot-pluggable, however, ensure any USB peripherals are safely disconnected
before removing the ExpressCard adapter.
OPTIONAL: For some high-powered USB devices, additional power may be required
from the USB port. A power jack is provided for connecting the included USB to DC
Power Adapter Cable or an external power adapter (not included), to help support
such devices.
