Using PC Cards
Your notebook includes two PC Card slots. PC Cards enable you to connect
portable external devices such as another hard disk drive or a PC Network
Interface Card (NIC) to connect to a network.
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 the PC Card slot gently into the connector. The PC Card is
automatically detected by your system. The
Unplug or Eject Hardware
icon appears in the taskbar.
✍
The PC Card slots can accommodate two Type I/II PC Cards, or one Type III PC Card.
These slots are compatible with CardBus. Use the lower slot for Type III PC Cards. You
do not need to shut down your notebook before inserting or removing a PC Card.
Inserting a PC Card
Do not force a PC Card into the slot as this may damage the connector pins.
Do not carry your notebook while touching the head of a PC Card (such as a
wireless LAN card), as pressure or shock may damage the connector pins.
