❖ For external speakers, use the volume controls on
each speaker.
❖ For headphones, use the computer’s volume control
dial.
Using PC Cards
PC Cards expand your computer’s capabilities and
usefulness. You can purchase additional PC Cards from your
dealer. Most PC Cards conform to the PCMCIA (Personal
Computer Memory Card International Association) standard.
Your computer has one PC Card slot and supports two types
of PC Cards, known as types I and II:
❖ A Type I card is typically used for a serial interface,
parallel interface, or modem.
❖ A Type II card is typically used for memory storage, or as
a network card.
Check the documentation that came with the PC Card to see
if it conforms to the PCMCIA 2.1 standard, or later. Other
cards may work with your computer, but are likely to be
much more difficult to set up and use.
PC Card supporting software
The operating system provides the Card and Socket Services
for your PC Card and is installed automatically. Even if your
PC Card comes with its own version of Card and Socket
Services, you should use the files included in the Windows
®
XP operating system.
