Using PC Cards

Your computer includes a PC card slot. PC cards allow you to connect portable external devices, such as a CD-ROM drive, or to connect to a network.

✍The PC card slot can accommodate one Type II PC card. This slot is 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 43 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, remove the software driver and then reinstall it.

You may not be able to use some PC cards or some of the functions of a PC card with this computer.

To insert a PC card

✍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 towards the computer.
