PC Card slots

There is a type II CardBus PC Card slot found on the right side of the
computer. This slot accepts credit-card-sized cards that enhance the
usability and expandability of the computer. These cards should have a
PC Card logo on them.

PC Cards (formerly PCMCIA) are add-on cards for portable computers,
giving you expansion possibilities long afforded by desktop PCs.
Popular type II cards include flash memory, SRAM, fax/data modem,
LAN and SCSI cards. CardBus improves on the 16-bit PC card
technology by expanding the bandwidth to 32 bits.

Note: Refer to your card’s manual for details on how to install
and use the card and its functions.

Inserting a PC Card

Insert the card into the slot and make the proper connections (e.g.,
network cable), if necessary. See your card manual for details.

Ejecting a PC Card

Before ejecting a PC Card:

1

Exit the application using the card.

2

Left-click on the PC Card icon on the taskbar and stop the card
operation.
