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 two Type I or two Type II PC cards, or one Type III PC card. These slots are compatible with Card Bus.
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” in the online document Customizing Your VAIO® Notebook Computer 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.
You may not be able to use some PC cards or some functions of the PC card with this computer.
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.
1 Pull the PC card release button out from the computer and push it in toward the computer.
