ExpressCard Slot
The computer is equipped with an ExpressCard/34/54 slot that reads Express Card/
34 and ExpressCard/54 formats. ExpressCards are the successors to PCMCIA (PC
Cards).
ExpressCard/54 is used for applications which require a larger interface slot, e.g.
CompactFlash card reader. The number denotes the card width; 54mm for the Ex-
press Card/54 and 34mm for the ExpressCard/34. Make sure you install the Card
Reader driver (see
“ExpressCard/Card Reader” on page 4 - 5 ).
Inserting and Removing ExpressCards
• Align the ExpressCard with the slot and push it in until it locks into place.
• To remove an ExpressCard, simply press the card to eject it (as pictured in the
generic figure below).

Cover
Make sure you keep the
cover in the Express-
Card slot when not in
use. This will help pre-
vent foreign objects and/
or dust getting in to the
ExpressCard Slot.
