Connecting USB devices is easy. You don't need to turn off the system to
connect the devices. Simply match the connectors on the USB cable to the
USB port on your system and the port on the USB device, then plug in the
cable.
For multiple USB devices, simply plug the USB cable on the new device
into a free USB port on the existing device (many devices come with two
or more ports).
Most USB devices do not need a separate power source as they draw their
power from the system. Some high power devices (for example, USB
hubs and amplified speakers) may need their own power supplies.
PC Cards
Your system supports Type II PC cards for extending system capabilities.
Type II cards have a standard 68-pin connector.
Type II cards are often storage or communication devices such as Static
Random Access Memory (SRAM), Read Only Memory (RAM), Flash
Memory, modem, and Small Computer System Interface (SCSI).
Some PC cards are Type II extended cards. The extended card has an
additional physical component that protrudes beyond the normal card
size. The extension provides room for additional electronics as well as a
location for external connectors.
Inserting a PC Card
The system integrates two CardBus slots on the left side of the system
unit. Use the slots to insert up to two Type II PC cards, either 16-bit or
32-bit (CardBus). The Type II cards can be inserted in either or both slots.
The CardBus slots do not support zoomed video (ZV Port).
