PC Cards

Your NEC Versa DayLite/UltraLite system is equipped with a PC Card slot that supports Type II PC Cards.

PC Cards are all approximately the same size and vary only in thickness. All have a standard 68-pin connector. Your NEC Versa notebook supports the installation of the PC Cards described next.

Type II Cards

Type II cards have a thickness of 5.0 millimeters (mm). Type II cards are often storage or communication devices such as Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), Read Only Memory (ROM), Flash Memory, LAN, and Small Computer System Interface (SCSI). Typically Type II cards include input/output (I/O) features such as modems.

Type II Extended Cards

Many PC Cards are Type II extended cards. The extended card has an additional physical component that protrudes beyond the traditional card size. The extension can be as large as 40 mm deep by 9.65 mm high. This extension provides room for additional electronics as well as a location for external connectors.

Communication Cards

You can use both fax/modem and network PC Cards with your NEC Versa notebook. Here are some suggestions to help you get the best system performance.

Note If you are using this unit outside of the United States or Canada, contact a local NEC Computers dealer for availability information.

!Network Cards — You can use a network card with your system to gain access to a local area network (LAN).

!Fax/Modem Cards — You can use a PC Card modem with your system to communicate with others via fax, email, or connect to an online service or bulletin board.

You can insert either card in the slot.

Always insert the fax/modem card before using your fax/modem software application. If you start the application before inserting the fax/modem card, the application typically does not find the card.
