PC Cards

Label-side up
Button
Your computer has one PC Card slot. This slot conforms to the PC Card Standard;
therefore, communications and SCSI devices may be utilized. The slot allows you to
use one Type I or Type II card.
CAUTION
Check the PC Cards' specifications. Be sure the total operating current does not
exceed the specified limit. Damage may result otherwise.
Allowable Current: 3.3 V: 400 mA, 5 V: 400 mA
ZV card, SRAM card, FLASH ROM card (except for an ATA interface) and card
requiring 12V are not supported.
With the repeated insertion/removal of a PC Card, the computer may no longer
recognize the PC Card (depending on the type of card).
In such cases, restart the computer.
If the computer freezes after resuming from the standby or hibernation mode, try
removing and then reinserting the PC Card. If this does not correct the problem,
restart the computer.
Inserting/Removing the PC Card
Inserting a PC Card
Open the cover.
Simply slide the PC Card in until it snaps into place. Refer to the
operating instructions of each card on how to insert the card (inser-
tion is typically label-side up).
CAUTION
When using a PC Card to connect a peripheral device (SCSI, IEEE
1394, etc.):
1 Connect the peripheral device to the card.
2 Turn the device on.
3 Insert the card.
When inserting a card, do not force the card in if difficulty is en-
countered. You may damage the slot, making it impossible to re-
move the card.
Removing a PC Card
CAUTION
Do not remove a PC Card while your computer is in the standby or
hibernation mode.
Note that the operation of removing the PC Card may not be com-
plete, depending on the status of the PC Card or device connected
to the PC Card, such as when a SCSI card is used to connect an
external hard disk to the computer. In such cases, turn off the
power from the [Start] menu, then remove the card.
