Inserting a PC Card

Follow these steps to insert a PC card in your system.

Some PC cards require additional system resources. Before inserting a PC card you may have to disable either the IR port, USB port, or the 56K internal modem. Check the Windows device manager to ensure that one of these devices is disabled before inserting a PC card.

For information about enabling and disabling devices on your NEC Versa VXi, see “Enabling and Disabling Devices,” later in this chapter.

1.Align the card so that the 68-pin connector points towards the slot and the arrow on the PC card faces up.

2.Slide the card into either slot. A low tone followed by a high tone lets you know that the card is fully inserted and recognized. (If you turn off the sound, no sound is emitted.)

Other two-tone sequences such as high, then low tones indicate that the card is inserted, but the card type is unknown.

3.You can use the PC card software preinstalled on your system to check PC card slot availability. For example, look for the PC Card icon in the Windows Control panel. It shows which slot contains a PC card and which is empty.
