2. Slide the card into the slot until the card is completely seated in its connector.

NOTE: For a 34-mm ExpressCard, insert the card into the adapter first, then slide the card into the slot until the card is completely seated in its connector.

If you encounter too much resistance, do not force the card. Check the card orientation and try again.

The computer recognizes most cards 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 PC Card.
