180 Exploring Your Options Using PC Cards PC Card supporting software PC Cards require Card and Socket Services software - a set of programs that acts as a translator between the PC Card and the computer, and that makes hot swapping (switching cards while the computer is on) possible. The operating system provides the Card and Socket Services for your PC Card. Even if your PC Card comes with its own version of Card and Socket Services, you should use the files included in the operating system. Inserting PC Cards Use caution when lifting or turning your computer. Failure to do so may result in damage to components, such as cables, attached to your computer, or to the computer itself. Before you insert a PC Card, refer to the documentation that comes with the card to see if you need to do anything before you insert it. To insert a PC Card: 1 Turn off the computer. You may also hot swap a PC Card (see "Hot swapping" on page 182). 2 Align the card connectors with the PC Card slot and carefully slide the card into the slot until it locks into place.
