Using a PC Card
Your computer includes one PC Card slot. A PC Card enables you to connect
portable external devices, such as another hard disk drive, to your computer. It
also lets you connect to a network using a PC Network Interface Card (NIC).
The PC Card slot accommodates one Type II PC Card. This slot is compatible
with CardBus. You do not need to turn off your computer before inserting or
removing a PC Card.
To insert a PC Card
1 Insert the PC Card into the PC Card slot. Make sure the front label of the PC
Card is facing up.
2 Push the PC Card gently into the slot. The PC Card is automatically detected
by your system. The
Safely Remove Hardware icon appears in the
taskbar.
Inserting a PC Card
Do not force a PC Card into the slot. It may damage the connector pins.
If you have difficulty inserting a card, check that you are inserting the card
with the correct orientation.
Do not carry your computer while the head of the PC Card is out of the slot.
Pressure or shock may damage the connector pins.
