Using the Notebook PC

Storage Devices

Storage devices allow the Notebook PC to read or write documents, pictures, and other files to various

data storage devices. This Notebook PC has the following storage devices:

• Optical drive

• Flash memory reader

• Hard disk drive

ExpressCard

One 26pin Express card slot is available to support one ExpressCard/34mm or one

ExpressCard/54mm expansion card. This new interface is faster by using a serial bus

supporting USB 2.0 and PCI Express instead of the slower parallel bus used in the PC

card slot. (Not compatible with previous PCMCIA cards.)

Inserting an ExpressCard

Be sure the ExpressCard

is level when inserting.

1. If there is an ExpressCard socket protector, re-

move it using the "Removing an ExpressCard"

instructions below.

2. Insert the ExpressCard with the connector side first

and label side up. Standard ExpressCards will be

flush with the Notebook PC when fully inserted.

Removing an ExpressCard

The ExpressCard slot does not have an eject but-

ton. Press the ExpressCard inwards and release to

eject the ExpressCard. Carefully pull the ejected

ExpressCard out of the socket.

3. Carefully connect any cables or adapters

needed by the ExpressCard. Usually connectors

can only be inserted in one orientation. Look

for a sticker, icon, or marking on one side of

the connector representing the top side.
