Adding and Using PC Cards

A PC Card is a credit card–sized accessory designed to conform to the standard specifications of the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA). The notebook supports both 32-bit CardBus cards and 16-bit PC Cards.

PC Cards are classified as Type I, Type II, and Type III. The 3 types are about the same length and width, but vary in thickness.

Configuring a PC Card

ÄCAUTION: If you install software or enablers provided by a PC Card manufacturer, you may not be able to use other PC Cards. If you are instructed by the documentation that comes with your PC Card to install device drivers:

■Install only the device drivers for your operating system.

■Do not install card services, socket services, or enablers.

The operating system will detect new hardware and look for the appropriate driver. If no driver is found, specify the location for the correct driver, that is, diskette, CD, or other directory.
