ExpressCard
The ThinkPad SL400 notebook supports the PCMCIA ExpressCard Technology standard with
an ExpressCard/54-mm slot. This slot supports both ExpressCard/34 and ExpressCard/54
modules. ExpressCard slots accommodate modules designed to use either universal serial bus
(USB) 2.0 or the emerging PCI Express standards. Specific cards that comply with the PCMCIA
ExpressCard Technology standard may function in this card slot, but have not been tested by
Lenovo.
Vendor software compatibility
Lenovo tests a large number of commonly used and available applications for compatibility
with its Lenovo systems using supporting operating systems and configurations. In general,
you can expect that most vendor applications designed to run on supported operating systems
and Intel-compatible system architectures should be compatible with a Lenovo system. Some
configurations, however, may not be compatible.
Lenovo does not warrant or support vendor software products, nor guarantee compatibility
of those products with Lenovo systems. Refer to the applicable warranty and license terms
provided by the respective vendors.
ThinkPad SL series contain BIOS in their flash ROM and a GUI to set up the system and
power management features for Windows users. BIOS provides the hardware instructions and
interfaces designed to support the standard features of the ThinkPad SL400 notebook computer.
