Using PC Cards

Your computer includes two PC card slots. PC cards allow you to connect portable external devices such as another hard disk drive, or to connect to a network.

Warning: When using a PC card with a head that sticks out of the slot (Wireless LAN cards, etc.), do not move your computer with the PC card inserted. Once a PC card is inserted, do not add any force to the PC card, such as touching the head of a PC card when you lift up your computer. It may damage your computer.

To insert a PC card

Use the lower slot for Type III PC cards.

You do not need to shut down the computer before inserting or removing a PC card.

1.Pull the PC card release button out from the computer and push it in toward the computer.

2.Remove the PC card slot protector.

When you use a Type III PC card, you need to remove both the top and bottom PC card slot protectors.
