Adding and removing an
Express Card
Your notebook has an Express Card slot. This slot accepts one
Type 54 Express 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 an
Express Card while your notebook is running. If your Express
Card does not work after hot-swapping, see the Express Card
manufacturer’s documentation for further information.
To insert an Express Card:
•
Push the card firmly into the Express Card slot, label-side
up, until the outer edge of the card is flush with the side
of your notebook.
