Using an ExpressCard™

The ExpressCard slot supports the use of ExpressCard media. The slot also supports hot swapping, which allows you to replace one ExpressCard with another while the computer is on.

Inserting an ExpressCard

Before you insert an ExpressCard, refer to the documentation that comes with the card to see if you need to do anything before you insert it.

You can only use PC Cards in the top slot or ExpressCards in the bottom slot. You cannot insert a PC Card into the ExpressCard slot (the bottom slot), nor can you insert an ExpressCard into the PC card slot (the top slot).

To insert an ExpressCard:

1Locate the ExpressCard slot just below the PC Card slot on the left side of the computer.

2Insert the ExpressCard.Sample inserting an ExpressCard

3When the card is almost all the way into the slot, push firmly, but gently, to ensure a firm connection with the computer. Do not force the card into position.
