PC Card Slots
There are two type II/I or one type III PC Card slots found on the left panel of
the notebook. These slots accept credit-card-sized cards that enhance the
usability and expandability of the notebook.
PC Cards (formerly PCMCIA) are add-on cards for portable computers,
giving you expansion possibilities long afforded by desktop PCs. Common
type II cards include flash memory, SRAM, fax/data modem, LAN and SCSI
cards. Type III cards most often used are 1.8-inch ATA drives and cellular
modems.
Inserting a Card
Insert the card into the desired slot
and make the proper connections
(e.g., network cable), if necessary.
See your card manual for details.
For type III cards, insert the card into
the lower (bottom) slot.
