How to Install or Remove a PCMCIA Card

Required Tools and Equipment

You need the following tools and part to perform this task:

•ESD-preventive strap

•Medium flat-head screwdriver

•PCMCIA card

Steps

To install a PCMCIA card, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash to one of the ESD connection sockets on the front (PLIM) side of the chassis or a bare metal surface on the chassis.

Step 2 Using the screwdriver, loosen the captive screw at the bottom of the PCMCIA slot door on the faceplate of the card.

Step 3 While lifting the hinged PCMCIA slot door up, carefully insert the new PCMCIA flash card into the left slot of the PCMCIA card cage. When the card is fully inserted, the release button pops up. (If the button fails to pop up, you may not have the card in right side up; turn the card over and try again.)

Step 4 Close the door to keep dust out, and tighten the captive screw with the screwdriver.
