PC Cards
About PC Cards
The computer has a slot into which you can install up to two PC Cards if the PC Cards comply with Release 2.01 of the Personal Computer
Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) standard and Release 4.2 of the Japanese Electronic Industry Development Association
(JEIDA) standard.
The computer supports Type I, Type II, and Type III PC Cards (including memory cards) and advanced technology attachment (ATA) cards that
emulate integrated drive electronics (IDE) hard-disk drives. Also supported are input/output (I/O) cards such as modems, local area network (LAN)
cards, wireless LAN cards, and small computer system interface (SCSI) cards.
If you are using the Microsoft Windows 98 or Windows 2000 operating system, you can use a zoomed video (ZV) PC Card only in the lower PC
Card connector. (The Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 operating system does not support ZV.)
Installing PC Cards
You can use the following PC Card combinations in the PC Card slots:
l
A single Type I or Type II card (using either the upper or lower PC Card connector)
l
A single Type III card (using the lower PC Card connector only)
l
One Type I card and one Type II card (using either connector)
l Two Type I cards or two Type II cards
NOTES: A PC Card is not a boot device. The "type" of a card refers to its thickness, not its functionality.
Your computer recognizes most I/O cards and automatically loads the device driver associated with that card.
NOTICE: Take extra precautions if you use extended PC Cards in your computer. Extended cards are longer versions
of standard PC Cards. They fit into, and operate correctly with, your computer. However, they extend beyond the edge
of the computer when installed. If something strikes the exposed end of an installed card, your system board can be
damaged. Because of space considerations, you may have trouble using two PC Cards in your computer if one of
them is an extended card. It may be easier to use an extended card if you install it in the upper PC Card connector.
Always remove an extended PC Card before you pack the computer in its carrying case.
NOTE: Use a ZV PC Card in the lower connector only.
