Connecting PC Cards
The computer’s PC card slots are available for expanding the computer’s data storage
and communication capabilities. Your computer supports two standard Type II or one
Type III PC cards (PCMCIA and CardBus).
CAUTION
Do not remove a PC card while the computer is reading or writing data. If you do,
you could lose data, or the computer could stop responding.
To insert a PC card
1.
Hold the card with its face up and its connector holes toward the card slot.
2.
Slide the PC card all the way into the upper or lower slot. Most cards are properly
seated when the outer edge is flush with the casing of the computer, but some cards
are designed to protrude from the case.
To remove a PC card

Hardware icon in the taskbar, select the PC card you want to stop, then click Stop.
