Inserting the PC Card

Note: If you are using Card and Socket Services, you might be able to use

hot-pluggability features with your PC Card. See “Hot-Pluggability and
Suspend/Resume Issues” on page 7.

1. Switch OFF (O) the power to the computer.

2. Determine which type of network cabling you will be using as shown in

the following figures, and connect the PC Card cable to the network as
described.

If your network uses UTP cabling, attach the RJ-45 (8-pin modular)
connector on the PC Card cable (P/N 38H7044) to the RJ-45
telecommunications outlet.

If your network uses STP cabling, attach the RJ-45 connector on the
PC Card cable (P/N 38H7044) to the RJ-45 end of the STP connector
(P/N 73G8314). Attach the STP connector to the STP
telecommunications outlet.

The STP connector has been specifically designed to work with the
IBM Token-Ring PC Cards.

Note: Verify that you are using the correct STP connector. The correct

STP connector and PC Card cable have the code number 100 on
the connectors that attach to each other.
