Internal Installation

Installing a PC Card

PC cards, available in the market, provide various functions. Examples are memory cards, fax/modem cards, and LAN cards.

PC cards that conform to the PCMCIA 2.1 standard can be used with your notebook. The PC card slot also supports two advanced interfaces: CardBus and ZV (Zoomed Video) port.

CardBus provides compatibility with 16-bit PC cards and extends performance and functionality by adding 32-bit data transfers, and by employing PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) concepts. Typical PC cards that utilize CardBus are graphic video, full-motion video, SCSI host bus, and high speed network cards. Typical PC cards that utilize the ZV port are MPEG and Video Capture cards.
