PC Card
The Type II CardBus PC Card slot found on the left side of the computer
accepts credit-card-sized cards that enhance the usability and
expandability of the computer. These cards should have a PC Card logo
on them.
PC Cards (formerly PCMCIA) are add-on cards for portable computers,
giving you expansion possibilities long afforded by desktop PCs. Popu-
lar PC cards include flash, fax/data modem, LAN, wireless LAN and SCSI
cards. CardBus improves on the 16-bit PC card technology by expand-
ing the bandwidth to 32 bits.
Note: Refer to your card's manual for details on how to install and
use the card.
To insert a PC Card:
1
Align the card with your computer's PC Card slot. Make sure that
the edge with the connectors is facing the slot, and that the card is
the right way up. Many cards are marked with an arrow to help
you insert them correctly.
2
Slide the card into the slot, and push gently until the card
connects.
3
If necessary, connect the card's cable to the jack on the outer edge
of the card.
4
Windows will automatically detect the card's presence.
