ExpressCards

An ExpressCard is a next-generation, high-performance PC Card, which must be inserted into the ExpressCard slot.

Like standard PC Cards, ExpressCards are designed to conform to the standard specifications of the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA).

NOTE An ExpressCard can also add TV tuner functionality to the computer. For more information, refer to the manufacturer's user guide.

Selecting an ExpressCard

ExpressCards use one of 2 interfaces and are available in 2 sizes. The ExpressCard slot on the computer supports both interfaces and both sizes. For example, you can use

●An ExpressCard with either a USB interface or a PCI Express interface.

●A full-size ExpressCard, called ExpressCard/54 (1), or a smaller ExpressCard, called ExpressCard/34 (2).

The ExpressCard procedures described in the following sections are the same for both interfaces and both sizes.

Configuring an ExpressCard

CAUTION To prevent loss of support for other ExpressCards, install only the software required for the device. If you are instructed by the ExpressCard manufacturer to install device drivers:

Install only the device drivers for your operating system.

Do not install other software, such as card services, socket services, or enablers, supplied by the ExpressCard manufacturer.
