To install an expansion card

You can add up to two ISA cards, such as network (LAN) cards, to the docking system. You can add one PCI card to the docking system. If you install a PCI card, you can install only one ISA card—and it must be in the lower ISA slot.

Before removing the card from its bag, equalize static electricity by touching the bag and the port replicator’s metal back plate at the same time. Handle the card by its edges. Avoid touching electronic components.

1.Undock the OmniBook and unplug the ac adapter from the docking system.

2.Remove the cable cover and monitor stand if necessary

3.Slide the metal shield from the base.

If the shield is difficult to slide, you can insert a small screwdriver into the gap between the shield and base and gently work the shield loose. Be sure to loosen the shield evenly on both the right and left sides before attempting to remove it.
