Using PC Cards
TECHNICAL NOTE: For PCMCIA-compatible PC Cards, check the
package to make sure they conform to the PCMCIA 2.1 standard (or
later). Other cards may work with your computer, but are likely to be
much more difficult to set up and use.
Your notebook computer comes with a PC Card slot and supports
two types of PC Cards that you can install:
❖ Type I cards
❖ Type II cards
The PC Card slot supports hot swapping, which allows you to
replace one PC Card with another while the computer is on.
Inserting a PC Card
Before you insert a PC Card, refer to the documentation that comes
with the card to see if you need to do anything before you insert it.
To insert a PC Card:
1 Locate the PC Card slot on the left side of the computer.
2 Insert the PC Card.

3 When the card is almost all the way into the slot, push firmly
but gently to ensure a firm connection with the computer. Do
not force the card into position.
