2.6 Using the e-SATA Port

With the built-in e-SATA port, you can connect your e-SATA- compatible peripherals for data backup. The Windows operating system will automatically recognize the device and install appropriate driver(s) for it. Yet it is still recommended to install the drivers that came with your peripherals. For more information, please refer to your hardware manuals.

2.7 PCI Express card/Newcard

The PCI Express card (or Newcard) slot can be used as an interface between your computer and a variety of communication devices, such as network adapters, fax/modems or external storage devices.

►Inserting a Card◄

1.Insert the card with label side up, make sure that the metal connector is inserted into the card slot.

2.Insert the card into the slot. You will feel some resistance as the card reaches to the end.

3.Your PCI Express cards require drivers, or programs that allow the operating system to use the device. Your Windows operating system should already contain the driver for your device, if not, you will be prompted to install the driver.
