NotebookSony	Inserting a PC Card
	To insert a PC Card, proceed as follows:

	1 Insert the PC Card into the PC Card slot, front label facing up (1).

2 Gently push the card into the slot until the card is fixed into the connector.

Some PC Cards may require you to disable idle devices when using the PC Card. You can use Sony Notebook Setup to disable devices. 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 do not need to shut down the computer before inserting or removing a PC Card.

Do not force a PC Card into the slot. It may damage the connector pins. If you have difficulty inserting a PC Card, check that you are inserting the PC Card in the correct direction. See the manual supplied with your PC Card for more information on use.

For some PC Cards, if you alternate between Normal power operation and Standby or Hibernate power management modes while the card is inserted, you may find that a device connected to your system is not recognized. Reboot your system to correct the problem.

The computer will return to its original state if you restart it.

You can connect the optional PCGA-CD51/A CD-ROM drive or the optional PCGA-CDRW52 CD-RW drive to the PC Card slot on your notebook. However, do not connect these drives if the main unit is docked. A simultaneous use may cause malfunction.
