Installing a PC card
A PC card slot, on the right side of the computer accommodates one 5 mm PC card
(Type II).
You can install any industry standard PC card such as a SCSI adaptor or flash
memory card.
A dummy card is installed to protect the slot.
Windows allows hot installation of PC cards, which means you can install a card
while the computer’s power is on.
NOTES: 1. Do not install a PC card while the computer is in standby
or hibernation mode. Some cards might not work properly.
2. An HDD or CD-ROM connected to a 16-bit PC card, might
affect the performance of the computer’s sound system and
data transmission, including slower transmission speeds
and dialing errors.
To install the PC card, follow the steps below.
1. A dummy card is installed in the computer when it is shipped. To eject the
dummy, push the eject button and release it to extend the button.
2. Press the extended eject button to pop the card out slightly.
