To insert a PC card

The OmniBook PC card slots are available for devices that store data and expand
the communication capabilities of the OmniBook. The OmniBook supports the
following two kinds of plug-in PC cards:

Data storage cards—cards that function as disks for storing data.

Input/Output (I/O) cards—cards that typically provide external connections, such
as modems and network cards.

The OmniBook works with type I, II, and III data storage cards such as Hewlett-
Packard ATA-type hard disks and flash disks. You can use two thin cards or one
thick card. If you have one thick card inserted, it is drive E. If you have two cards
inserted, the upper card is drive E and the lower card is drive F.

For more information about compatible cards, contact Hewlett-Packard—see the
Support and Service booklet.

Caution

Do not install Card Services or Socket Services software if it comes with your
PC card. The OmniBook includes Card Services 2.1 and Socket Services 2.1,
which automatically detect and set up PC cards you install in the upper and
lower card slots. Different versions of this software will disrupt this support.
