Installation

Hardware Installation

The ExpressCard adapter will simply slide into the ExpressCard slot

on any compatible system. Push the card all the way in, until it ‘clicks’

and locks into place. To eject the card, simply push the card further into

the slot until it clicks, and then release and it will then be automatically

ejected from the slot.

NOTE: Some ExpressCard/54 slots do not ﬁrmly hold an

ExpressCard/34 module, so the 34mm to 54mm stabilizer bracket may

be necessary.
