Chapter 7 Optimizing your HP Jornada 107

Non-memory CompactFlash Cards that require a cable connection (for example, network interface cards, pagers, or modem cards), must be inserted in the PC Card slot rather than the CompactFlash Card slot. To insert a CompactFlash Card into the PC Card slot, you will need a PC Card adapter. For a list of recommended PC Card adapters, go to the Hewlett- Packard Web site at www.hp.com/jornada.

Installing a PC Card or CompactFlash Card

When you install expansion cards, the PC Card and CompactFlash memory modules appear as folders in the My Handheld PC folder. If you have two cards installed, the folder called Storage card1 represents the first card you installed, and the folder called Storage card2 represents the second card. In some cases, additional folders may appear; for example, Storage card3, Storage card4, etc. You can eliminate unused folders by performing a soft reset. (For more information, see the Resetting section in chapter 8.)

Many PC Cards use considerable power, and can quickly drain your battery. Connect to AC power while using PC Cards.

The HP Jornada has a unique expansion module with two slots to accommodate both a PC card and a CompactFlash Card in a small, portable size. You can install either a PC Card or CompactFlash Card, or install both at the same time.
