Using PC Cards
Your computer includes two PC card slots. PC cards allow you to connect portable
external devices.
The PC card slots can simultaneously accommodate two Type I, two Type II, or one Type III
PC cards. These slots are compatible with the Card Bus port.
Some PC cards may require you to disable idle devices when using the PC card. You can
use Sony Notebook Setup to disable devices. Please refer to“Sony Notebook Setup” in your
Software Guide for details.
Be sure to use the most recent software driver provided by the PC card manufacturer.
If an “!” mark appears on the Device Manager tab in the System Properties dialog, remove
the software driver and then reinstall it.
You may not be able to use some PC cards or some functions within the PC card with this
computer.
You do not need to shut down the computer before inserting or removing a PC card.
To insert a PC Card Modem, please refer to the “PC card modem” section for details.
