Expandability
You can easily expand the capabilities of your personal
computer by adding system memory, adapters that use
the ISA/PCI expansion slots, additional hard disk drives,
diskette drives, or a CD-ROM drive.
Connectivity
If your personal computer is equipped with an Ethernet
or token ring adapter, it is enabled for connection to a
network. Refer to your operating system documentation
for more information.
If your personal computer is equipped with an Ethernet
or token ring adapter that supports the LAN Wake-Up,
your personal computer can be started by a signal sent
from another computer on the LAN.
PCMCIA Ports
You can add optional Personal Computer Memory Card
International Association (PCMCIA) connectors to your
personal computer. PCMCIA support allows you to
expand the I/O and storage capabilities of the computer.
PCMCIA devices are the size of a credit card and are
called PC Cards.
With a PCMCIA option, your personal computer can
have two 68-pin PCMCIA connectos (or sockets) on the
front panel. Each socket can accept type-1, -2, or -3 PC
Cards. Inside the computer, the sockets are connected to
a PCMCIA adapter in an I/O expansion slot. Some
PCMCIA adapters have two additional sockets at the
back of the computer. You can insert and remove most
PC Cards without turning off the computer.
