Quick installation procedure
Note: Back up all data before beginning installation!
Refer to the manual that came with your computer,
camera, or other device to determine if it is compatible
with the CF+ Type II or the PC card type II drive/ inter-
face adapter and to find instructions on inserting and
removing the IBM microdrive.
Using the IBM microdrive with a PC card adapter
With a PC card adapter the IBM microdrive can be
installed in devices such as digital cameras or PCs that
have a PC card type II slot. If your IBM microdrive did
not come with a PC card, it can be purchased
separately.
1. Align the  mark of the IBM microdrive with that of
the PC card.
2. Insert the IBM microdrive firmly into the PC card.
Note: When inserting or removing the PC card, hold
the PC card, not the IBM microdrive.
Using the IBM microdrive without a PC card adapter
The IBM microdrive is compatible with the CF+TM Type II
standard and can be used in devices with the CF+ II slot
without an adapter card. Refer to the manual shipped
with the device to determine its slot type.
