Caution
Do not insert or remove a floppy disk while the OmniBook is actively reading
or writing data. Wait until the floppy drive is done. Otherwise, you could lose
data or the OmniBook could stop responding.
To insert a PC card
The OmniBook PC card slots are available for storing data and expanding the
communication capabilities of the OmniBook. The OmniBook supports standard
Type I, II, and III PC cards (PCMCIA and CardBus). You can use two thin cards or
one thick card. The upper card slot supports Zoomed Video, which allows a zoomed
video card to show high-quality multimedia presentations.
For information about compatible cards, visit our Web site at
http://www.hp.com/go/omnibook. Or contact Hewlett-Packard as described in the
Support and Service booklet or in OmniBook Support in the online OmniBook
Library.
Caution
Do not install Card Services or Socket Services software if it comes with your
PC card. The OmniBook already includes Card Services and Socket Services,
which automatically detect and set up PC cards you install in the upper and
lower card slots. Different versions of this software will disrupt this support.
Never insert or remove a plug-in card while an OmniBook PC card drive is
actively reading or writing data. Wait until the PC card drive is done.
Otherwise, you could lose data or the OmniBook could stop responding.
The OmniBook automatically detects and sets up a card when you insert it in a card
slot. See the card’s instructions for additional information.
To insert a card in the upper slot
• Hold the card with its face up and its connector holes toward the card slot, then
slide it into the slot until it won’t go any further. The card should be about flush
with the case.
