Expresscards - Dell Inspiron 13z Manual

ExpressCards

ExpressCards allow you to connect peripheral devices such as
memory cards, wired and wireless communications, printers, scanners,
microphone, and so on, to your laptop computer. ExpressCards replace
PC cards.
ExpressCards are installed on externally accessible ExpressCard slots.
ExpressCard slot on laptops and desktops is normally installed with a
blank, when no ExpressCard is installed, to protect the slot from dust
particles. You must remove the blank to install an ExpressCard.
