Using Pc Cards - Sharp PC-A800 Series Manual

Using PC Cards

Your computer has a PC card slot on the right side. The PC card slot accepts type-1
and type-II PC cards. It supports the 32-bit Cardbus standard.
You can use PC cards to add many different features to your computer such as a
network adapter, a SCSI host adapter, and so on.
If you use a PC card to add a feature that already exists on your
computer, such as a fax/modem, this may cause problems as the
devices compete for limited resources.
Some PC cards can draw power from the system even when they
are not being used. If you are operating your computer on battery
power, we recommend that you remove PC cards from the PC
card slot when you are not using them.
You cannot use a PC card in MS-DOS mode.
Inserting a PC Card
1. Hold the card with the label side up.
2. Most cards are marked with an arrow to show which of the narrow edges inserts
into the slot.
3. Push the card into the slot and press it firmly so that it engages with the
connector inside the slot. The PC card edge should be flush with the side of the
computer when it is fully inserted.
