The PC Card slot has two connectors that supports four combinations of cards:

A single Type I or Type II card (using either the upper or lower PC Card connector)

One Type I card and one Type II card (using either connector)

Two Type I cards or two Type II cards

One Type III card (using the lower connector)

NOTE:

"Type" of card refers to its thickness, not its functionality.

NOTE:

A PC Card is not a bootable device.

The PC Card slot supports CardBus technology and extended PC Cards.

Extended PC Cards

An extended PC card (for example, a wireless network adapter) is longer than a standard PC Card. Follow
these precautions when using extended PC Cards:

Protect the exposed end of an installed card. Striking the end of the card can damage the system
board.

Always remove an extended PC Card before you pack the computer in its carrying case.

Install an extended card in the upper PC Card connector to allow room for a second PC Card.
