PC Card slot

There is one Type II CardBus PC Card slot found on the right side of the computer. The slot accepts credit-card-sized cards that enhance the usability and expandability of the computer. These cards should have a PC Card logo on them.

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