Chapter 13: Upgrading Your Computer

Adding PC Cards

Your computer has one PC Card slot (also known as a PCMCIA card slot). This slot accepts Type I and Type II PC Cards.

You do not need to restart your computer when changing most cards because your computer supports hot-swapping. Hot-swapping means that you can insert a PC Card while your computer is running. If your PC Card does not work after hot-swapping, see the PC Card manufacturer’s documentation for further information.

To insert a PC Card:

■Push the card firmly into the PC Card slot label-side facing toward the back of your computer until the outer edge of the card is flush with the side of your computer.
