Universal Serial Bus
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) port is a high-speed serial bus which
allows you to connect and daisy-chain USB peripherals without taking
up precious system resources. Your computer has two ports available.
PC Card slots
There is a type II CardBus PC Card slot found on the left side of the
computer. This slot accepts a credit-card-sized card that enhances the
usability and expandability of the computer. These cards should have a
PC Card or CardBus logo on them.
PC Cards (formerly PCMCIA) are add-on cards for portable computers,
giving you expansion possibilities long afforded by desktop PCs.
Popular type II cards include flash memory
, SRAM, fax/data modem,
LAN and SCSI cards. CardBus improves on the 16-bit PC card
technology by expanding the bandwidth to 32 bits.
Note:
Refer to your cards manual for details on how to install
and use the card and its functions.
