Using Pc Cards - Sharp PC-AR10 Manual

Using PC Cards

Your computer has PC card slots on the left side. The PC card slots accept type-I,
type-II, and type-III PC cards. It also supports the 32-bit CardBus standard or
Zoomed Video(ZV) port compliant PC card. You can insert a combination of two
type-I and type-II cards simultaneously. Because of the thickness of a type-III card,
you can only use a single type-III card at a time. When using a ZV port compliant
PC card, insert it into the lower slot.
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.
Inserting a PC Card
1. Hold the card with the label side up. Most cards are marked with an arrow to
show which of the narrow edges inserts into the slot.
2. Insert the card into an empty 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.
