6 Connecting PE3RR to Laptop
You can connect your OSS PE3RR expansion chassis to any laptop computers using an expresscard34 and / or Cardbus card. You need to
identify the type of slot available in your laptop . If you have an express card slot, you need to use an ExpressCard34 ( model: Ec34).
1. ExpressCard34 - use for Laptop with express card slot
IMPORTANT
Newer laptops do not have the express card and PCMCIA slots. If there is no express card slot or Cardbus card slot in
your laptop, unfortunately you cannot connect your OSS PE3RR expansion chassis. There is no solution or
workaround for this.
Cardbus card is not supported on Mac Book (Mac OS) and laptops running LINUX or other flavors of UNIX and LINUX Operating systems.
