Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.

keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. If card orientation is not clear, see the documentation that came with the card.

manufacturer's drivers, use the floppy disk or CD that came with the PC Card.
