Using PC Cards
Your computer includes a PC Card slot. PC Cards allow you to connect portable external devices.
Inserting a PC Card
To insert a PC Card, proceed as follows:
1
Insert the PC Card into the PC Card slot, front label facing up (1).
2
Gently push the card into the slot until the card is fixed into the connector.
✍
Some PC Cards may require you to disable idle devices when using the PC Card. You can use Sony Notebook Setup to disable devices.
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 box, remove the software driver and then reinstall it.
You do not need to shut down the computer before inserting or removing a PC Card.
Do not force a PC Card into the slot. It may damage the connector pins. If you have difficulty inserting a PC Card, check that you are inserting the PC
Card in the correct direction. See the manual supplied with your PC Card for more information on use.
