Using PC Cards
Your computer includes two PC card slots. PC cards allow you to connect portable external devices, such as another hard disk drive, or to connect a network.
✍The PC card slots can accommodate (at the same time) two Type I, two Type II, or one Type III PC card. These slots are compatible with Card Bus and ZV (Zoomed Video) port.
Some PC cards may require that you disable idle devices when using the PC card. You can use Sony Notebook Setup to disable devices. See “Displaying the Sony Notebook Setup Screen” on page 63 for details.
Be sure to use the most recent software driver provided by the PC card manufacturer.
If an “!” mark appears on the Device Manager tab in the System Properties dialog box, remove the software driver and then reinstall it.
To insert a PC card
Use the lower slot for Type III PC cards.
✍You do not need to shut down the computer before inserting or removing a PC card.
1Pull the PC card release button up away from the computer and push it in toward the computer.
