PC Cards

Inserting/Removing the PC Card
Label-side up
Your computer has one PC Card slot. This slot conforms to the PC Card Standard;
therefore, communications or SCSI devices, etc., may be utilized. The slots allow 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,
reboot the computer.
There may be insufficient resources for some cards and some cards may not
operate at all. In such cases, we recommend disabling unnecessary devices in
the Setup Utility or [Device Manager]. For example: Try disabling serial devices
when using a modem card.

Inserting a PC Card

1
Open the cover, then slide the PC Card in until it snaps
into place
Refer to the manual for each card on how to install the card (insertion
is typically label-side up).
2
Close the cover by pressing down the bottom part of
the cover firmly from one end to the other
If the cover is pressed down by force, it may deform and you will not
be able to close it.
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 Slide the card in until it snaps into place.
When inserting a card, do not force the card in if difficulty is en-
countered. Depending on the shape of the card, a segment may
remain protruding from the slot after insertion. Do not try to force
the card all the way in. You may damage the slot, making it impos-
sible to remove the card.
When inserting a PC card for the first time, the card will only work
after being recognized by the computer. Insert the card after pow-
ering off the computer and wireless display, and then connecting
the port replicator, optional USB floppy disk drive, external key-
board and external display. Once the driver of the card is installed,
you can insert the card anytime.
