28 Section 2C: Inserting and Removing the Card
When you insert the card into a Windows computer, the following should occur:
The first time the card is inserted, Windows detects the card and installs the
drivers for it. This may take a few minutes. Once completed, SprintConnection
Manager should display “Disconnected.” To connect to the network, click the
GO button in the Mobile Broadband window.
If sound effects are enabled, the computer beeps.
The Unplug and Eject Hardware icon appears in the system tray, if it is not
already displayed for another card (and unless the feature has been disabled).
The card is powered as soon as you insert it.
Removing the Card (Windows)
To remove the card from your Windows computer:
1. Exit SprintConnection Manager if it is open (page 61).
2. Click the Unplug and Eject Hardware icon in the system tray:
3. Click the entry for “NEC PCI to USB Open Host Controller” or “Standard Enhanced
PCI to USB Host Controller.”
4. If a dialog box appears notifying you that it is safe to remove the card, click
OK, or click the Close button ( ).
5. Use your computer’s ExpressCard or PCCard ejector to eject the card from the
slot.
IMPORTANT! When inserting or removing your card, always grip the card by its sides,
as this prevents damage to the card.
