ExpressCards (Select Models Only)

An ExpressCard is a next-generation, high-performance PC Card,
but it cannot be used in a standard PC Card slot.
Like standard PC Cards, ExpressCards are designed to conform
to the standard specifications of the Personal Computer Memory
Card International Association (PCMCIA).

Selecting an ExpressCard

ExpressCards use one of 2 interfaces and are available in 2 sizes.
The ExpressCard slot on your computer supports both interfaces
and both sizes. For example, you can use
■
An ExpressCard with either a USB interface or a PCI Express
interface.
■
A full-size ExpressCard, called ExpressCard/54 1, or a
smaller ExpressCard, called ExpressCard/34 2.
The ExpressCard procedures described in the following sections
are the same for both interfaces and both sizes.
