Pc Cards - Panasonic CF-72 Series Reference Manual

PC Cards

Your computer has two PC Card slots. These slots conform to the PC Card Standard;
therefore, communications or SCSI devices, etc., may be utilized. The slots allow you to
use two Type I or Type II cards (or one Type I and one Type II), or one Type III card.
Type I or II
Two cards can be used simultaneously.
Slot (Socket) 2
Slot (Socket) 1
CAUTION
Check the PC Cards' specifications. Be sure the total operating current does not
exceed the specified limit. Damage may result otherwise.
Allowable Current (total for two slots) : 3.3 V: 400 mA, 5 V: 400 mA
There are times when both a Type I card and a Type II card will not work at the
same time.
ZV card, SRAM card, FLASH ROM card (except for an ATA interface) and card
requiring 12 V are not supported.
With the repeated insertion/removal of a PC Card, the computer may no longer
recognize the PC Card (depending on the type of card).
In such cases, restart the computer.
When inserting one more CardBus type card with one already inserted, after enter-
ing either the standby or hibernation mode, the computer may not function properly.
If the computer freezes after resuming from the standby or hibernation mode, try
removing and then reinserting the PC Card. If this does not correct the problem,
reboot the computer.
NOTE
Before connecting a PC Card, change the multimedia pocket device in accordance
with the media in which the driver of PC Card exists. Once a screen to install a
driver is displayed, the multimedia pocket device cannot be recognized even if it is
properly inserted.
Type III
One card can be used only in the slot 1.
