PC Card

The computer is equipped with a PC Card expansion slot that can accommodate one 5 mm Type II card. Any PC Card that meets industry standards (manufactured by TOSHIBA or other vendor) can be installed. The slots support 16-bit PC Cards, including PC Card 16's multifunction card and CardBus PC Cards. CardBus supports the new standard of 32-bit PC cards. The bus provides superior performance for the greater demands of multimedia data transmission.

■A hard disk drive or optical media drive connected to a 16-bit PC Card might affect the performance of the computer's sound system and modem data transmission, including slower transmission speeds and dialing errors.

Installing a PC card

One PC Card connector is located on the left side of the computer. The computer's hot-install feature lets you install PC Cards while the computer's power is on.

Do not install a PC Card while the computer is in Standby Mode or Hibernation Mode as some cards might not work properly.

To install a PC Card, follow the steps below.

1.Insert the PC Card.

2.Press gently to ensure a firm connection.

Installing a PC card

After installing the card, refer to the card's documentation and check the configuration in Windows® to make sure it is appropriate for your card.
