ExpressCard

The computer is equipped with an ExpressCard slot. Any ExpressCard

that meets industry standards (manufactured by TOSHIBA or other vendor)

can be installed. The slot supports hot plug connection and utilizes the

PCI-Express interface that supports the reading and writing of data at a

theoretical maximum rate of 2.5 Gbps.

Inserting an ExpressCard

Windows’ hot-install feature lets you insert an ExpressCard while the

computer’s power is on.

If the PC card is not inserted all the way, the eject button may not cause it

to pop out sufficiently to allows it to be grasped. Be sure to push the PC

card firmly into the computer and slide the eject button again.
