PC Card

The computer may be equipped with a single PC Card slot that can

accommodate a Type II format card. Any PC Card that meets industry

standards, either manufactured by TOSHIBA or another vendor, can be

installed as the slot supports 16-bit PC Cards and 32-bit CardBus cards.

For reference, CardBus supports the newer standard of 32-bit PC Cards

and provides superior performance for the greater demands of applications

such as multimedia data transmission.

Inserting a PC Card

computer is turned on.

To insert a PC Card, follow the steps as detailed below:
1. Insert the PC Card into the PC Card slot on the side of the computer.

When you do not use an ExpressCard, please be sure to insert a Dummy

card.

PC Cards can sometimes become hot during computer operation. Before

you remove a PC Card always wait for it to cool. You could get burned

removing a hot PC Card.

Do not insert a PC Card while the computer is in Sleep Mode or

Hibernation Mode as you may find that some cards do not work properly.
