Installing a PC Card
PC Cards, available in the market, provide various functions. Examples are
memory cards, fax/modem cards, and PCMCIA Type III 1.8-inch hard drive.
Contact your Compaq authorized dealer or reseller for a list of third party PC Cards
qualified for this notebook.
The PC Cards that conform to the PCMCIA 2.1 standard can be used with your
notebook. CardBus is also supported by the PC Card slot.
CardBus provides compatibility with 16-bit PC cards and extends performance and
functionality by adding 32-bit data transfers, and by employing PCI (Peripheral
Component Interconnect) concepts. Typical PC Cards that utilize CardBus are
graphic video, full-motion video, SCSI host bus, and high speed network cards.
To insert a PC Card:
1. Install the PCMCIA software. (See Chapter 6.)
2. Locate the PC Card slot on the left side of the notebook. Open the display to
access the slot.
3. Slide the PC Card with its label facing up into the slot until the eject button
pops out. (To remove a PC Card, press the eject button.)
