Right ports
PC card slot
There is one type II/I or one type III CardBus PC card slot found on the right panel
of the computer. This slot accepts credit-card-sized cards that enhance the
usability and expandability of the computer.
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. Common
type III cards are 1.8-inch ATA drives and cellular modems. CardBus improves on
the 16-bit PC card technology by expanding the data path to 32 bits.
ZV (zoomed video) port support allows your computer to support hardware MPEG
in the form of a ZV PC card.
Note: Refer to your card’s manual for details on how to install and use the
card and its functions.
