PC Card slot

There are one Type III or two Type II CardBus PC Card slots found on the left side of the computer. The slots accept credit-card-sized cards that enhance the usability and expandability of the computer. These cards should have a PC Card logo on them.

PC Cards (formerly PCMCIA) are add-on cards for portable computers, giving you expansion possibilities long afforded by desktop PCs. CardBus improves on the 16-bit PC card technology by expanding the bandwidth to 32 bits.

Note: Refer to your card manual for details on how to install and use the card and its functions.

Inserting a PC Card

Insert the card into the lower slot and make the proper connections (e.g., network cable), if necessary. See your card manual for details.
