Using PC Cards
Your notebook computer comes with a PC Card slot and
supports two types of PC Cards that you can install:
❖
Type I cards
❖
Type II cards
The PC Card slot supports hot swapping, which allows you to
replace one PC Card with another while the computer is on.

Inserting a PC Card

Before you insert a PC Card, refer to the documentation that
comes with the card to see if you need to do anything before
you insert it.
To insert a PC Card:
1 Locate the PC Card slot on the left side of the computer.
2 Insert the PC Card.

3 When the card is almost all the way into the slot, push
firmly but gently to ensure a firm connection with the
computer. Do not force the card into position.
TECHNICAL NOTE: For PCMCIA-compatible PC Cards, check
the package to make sure they conform to the PCMCIA 2.1
standard (or later). Other cards may work with your computer,
but are likely to be much more difficult to set up and use.
