Using Your Notebook Computer
Using PC Cards


Do not force a card into the slot. It
may damage the connector pins. If
you have difficulty inserting a
card, check that you are inserting
the card with the correct
orientation. See the manual
supplied with your PC card for
more information on use.
For some PC cards, if you alternate
between normal power operation
and the system suspend or system
hibernation power management
modes while the card is inserted,
you may find that a device
connected to your system is not
recognized. Reboot your system to
correct the problem.


Before you remove the PC card,
click the PC card icon in the task
tray and close the card. Close any
applications that use the PC card
before removing the card.
Otherwise, data may be lost.


The PC card slots can accommodate (at the same time) two Type I, two Type II, or one Type III PC card. These
slots are compatible with Card Bus port.
Some PC cards may require that you disable idle devices when using the PC card. You can use Sony Notebook
Setup to disable devices. See your Software guide, in "Sony Notebook Setup" for details.
Be sure to use the most recent software driver provided by the PC card manufacturer.
If an "!" mark appears on the Device Manager tab in the System Properties dialog, remove the software driver
and then reinstall it.
You may not be able to use some PC cards or some functions within the PC card with this computer.
You do not need to shut down the computer before inserting or removing a PC card.
Insert the PC card into the PC card slot, front label facing up. Gently push the card into
the slot until the card is fixed into the connector. The release button will then come out.
Pull the release button, then knock it down towards the slot.
