Using PC Cards
Your notebook includes a PC card slot. PC cards allow you to connect portable
external devices.
To insert a PC card

2 Gently push the card into the slot until the card is fixed into the connector
and the release button pops out.
✍
Note the following:
❑ The PC card slot can accommodate one Type I or Type II PC card and is compatible
with a CardBus.
❑ Some PC cards may require that you disable idle devices when using the PC card. You
can use Sony Notebook Setup to disable devices. See “Displaying the Sony Notebook
Setup Screen” for details.
❑ Be sure to use the most recent software driver provided by the PC card manufacturer.
❑ If an “!” mark appears on the Device Manager tab in the System Properties dialog box,
remove the software driver then reinstall it.
