PCMCIA Cards
When removing or installing PCMCIA cards, protect the MX3 internal components from
electrostatic discharge.
Use and operation of the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA)
device (e.g. PC card) is dependent upon both the type of device installed and the application(s)
running on the computer.
When installed, the PC card will not function properly unless the proper PC card
management software is installed in the PC card/MX3. (See Chapter 4, “System
Configuration.) Make sure the proper software is pre-loaded and PC cards are
properly configured.
There are two PC card slots in the MX3. The slot in the middle is Slot 1 and the slot near the side
of the MX3 is Slot 0. Both PC card slots will accept PC radio cards and PC data cards. Slot 1 is
5mm tall and Slot 0 is 2.2mm tall.
Note: Do not remove the radio card when installing a PC card.
Figure 1-11 PC Card Location

Preparation
LXE recommends that installation of the PC card be performed on a clean, well-lit surface.
Using a screwdriver, loosen the endcap and set both the endcap and the screws aside.
Installation
Slide the PC Card, connector side first, into the slot until it seats. Use caution not to pull or snag
the antenna connector.
If the PC Card is difficult to seat in the slot, remove the card, turn it around and re-install.
