Adding and removing a PC Card
Your notebook has a PC Card slot (also known as
a PCMCIA card slot). This slot accepts one Type II
card. You do not need to restart your notebook
when changing most cards because your
notebook supports
hot-swapping .
Hot-swapping means that you can insert a
PC Card while your notebook is running. If your
PC Card does not work after hot-swapping, see
the PC Card manufacturer’s documentation for
further information.
