| Install the PC Card Client Adapter |
 | Caution |
1. Before you begin, examine the PC card client adapter. One end is a dual-row, 68-pin PC card connector. The card is keyed so that it can be inserted only one way into the PC card slot. The slot in your computing device must be a PC card Type II slot (this includes slots that support both the Type II and Type III cards).
2. For Windows 95 and Windows 98 systems, remove any other PC card from the card slot.
3. For Windows 95 or Windows 98 systems, turn the computer on before inserting the PC card client adapter.
For Windows NT systems, turn the computer off before inserting the client adapter.
 | Caution Never force the PC card client adapter into the PC card slot. Forcing it will damage both the PC card and the slot. If the PC card does not easily insert, remove the card and re-insert it. |
4. Hold the PC card client adapter with the logo facing up and insert the card into the slot, applying just enough pressure to make sure it is fully seated.
