PCMCIA Cards and Expansion Sockets

The Notebook features one PCMCIA expansion socket design
to interface with one Type II card.

Inserting a PCMCIA Card

The computer will emit a medium tone followed by a high tone
when a PC card is inserted.

When you eject a card, the computer will emit a high tone
followed by a medium tone. You can insert and remove a PC
card whether the computer is turned On or Off.

Follow these instructions to insert a PCMCIA card:

1.

2.

Hold the PCMCIA card with the arrow side up and the
connector side toward the socket.

Align the card connectors with the socket and carefully
slide into the socket until it locks into place. The system
will beep once to indicate that it has detected the PC card.

To remove a PC card push the eject button, the button will pop
out, push the button again to eject the PCMCIA.

NOTE:

When inserting a Type II PC card, make sure

the connector is inserted in the socket. Before ejecting
a PC card, ensure that it is not being accessed by the
System.
For example, if the message “Write protect error writing
Drive x” is displayed, the user has to change the write
protect switch setting on the memory card. To change
the switch setting, (a) eject the card, (b) change the
switch setting, and (c) re-insert the card.
