2. With the label side up, insert the 68-pin connector side of the PC Card into the PC Card slot, pushing gently until firmly seated. CAUTION: To prevent damage to the connectors, use minimal pressure when inserting a PC Card into a PC Card slot. If you are running Windows 95 or Windows 98 and your computer is on, the computer automatically configures a plug and play card and most other PC Cards. If the computer is turned off or in Suspend, a card is not configured until you turn on the computer or exit Suspend. Windows NT 4.0 is not a plug and play operating system at this time. If you are running Windows NT 4.0, the computer configures a card only when it is on at the time the PC Card is inserted into the PC Card slot. The computer only recognizes that a PC Card has been removed if the PC Card slot is empty when the computer is powered on or the PC Card slot is empty at startup. After the computer has configured the card, the computer beeps twice to indicate that the card is ready for use. IMPORTANT: After the PC Card has been inserted and configured, it may be necessary to perform an initial setup procedure. For example, a new storage card may need to be formatted, or a new network card may need drivers installed. For detailed information on setup procedures for various network PC Cards, refer to the instructions provided by the PC Card manufacturer. 9-2 Using PC Cards
