4.1.1 PC Card Types
The PC Card slot supports one Type II card. It also supports CardBus technology and
extended PC Cards. "Type" refers to the card's thickness, not what it does.
A PC Card is not a bootable device.
4.1.2 Extended PC Cards
An extended PC Card is longer than a standard PC Card. When using extended PC Cards,
follow these precautions:
ƒ
Protect the exposed end of an installed card. If the end of the card is struck, the system
board may be damaged.
ƒ
Always remove an extended PC Card before packing your notebook in its carry case.
4.1.3 Installing PC Cards
PC Cards may be 'hot-swapped', which means you can install a card while your notebook is
running. The card will be detected automatically.
Usually PC Cards have a mark or symbol to show which end to insert into the slot. Cards are
keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. Check the documents that came with your card if the
orientation is unclear.
Hold the card with its orientation symbol pointing into the slot and the topside of the card
facing up. The push-button latch may need to be in before inserting the card.
Slide the card into the slot until it clicks into the connector.
If you encounter too much resistance, do not force the card. Check the card orientation and try
again.
Your notebook will recognize most PC Cards and automatically load the appropriate device
driver. If the configuration program tells you to load the manufacturer's drivers, use the
floppy disk or CD that came with the PC Card.
