Inserting the Client Adapter into a Computing Device
This section provides instructions for inserting a PC card or a PCI client adapter into a computing device.
Caution These procedures and the physical connections they describe apply generally to conventional PC card
slots and PCI expansion slots. In cases of custom or non conventional equipment, be alert to possible
differences in PC card slot and PCI expansion slot configurations.
Inserting a PC Card
Step 1 Before you begin, examine the PC card. One end has a dual-row, 68-pin PC card connector. The card is
keyed so it can be inserted only one way into the PC card slot.
Step 2 Turn on your computer, let the operating system boot up completely, and follow the remaining steps in
this section to insert the PC card.
Caution Do not force the PC card into your computer’s PC card slot. Forcing it will damage both the card and the
slot. If the PC card does not insert easily, remove the card and reinsert it.
Step 3 Hold the PC card with the Cisco logo facing up and insert it into the PC card slot, applying just enough
pressure to make sure it is fully seated. See Figure 3-9.

Step 4
Go to the “Additional Procedures” section on page 3-16 to install the driver for your computer’s
operating system.
Note You can remove and reinsert your PC card when necessary. See the “Removing the Client
Adapter” section on page 7-6 for instructions.
