ExpressCards

ExpressCards provide additional memory, wired and wireless
communications, multimedia and security features. ExpressCards support
two form factors:

ExpressCard/34 (34 mm wide)

ExpressCard/54 (54 mm wide in an L-shape with a 34 mm connector)

The 34 mm card fits into both the 34 mm and 54 mm card slots. The 54 mm
card only fits into a 54 mm card slot.

See "Specifications" on page 167 for information on supported ExpressCards.

NOTE:

An ExpressCard is not a bootable device.

ExpressCard Blanks

Your computer shipped with a plastic blank installed in the ExpressCard slot.
Blanks protect unused slots from dust and other particles. Save the blank for
use when no ExpressCard is installed in the slot; blanks from other computers
may not fit your computer.

To remove the blank, see "Removing an ExpressCard or Blank" on page 71.
