needed by the ExpressCard. Usually connec-
tors can only be inserted in one orientation.

of the connector representing the top side.

move it using the “Removing an ExpressCard”
instructions below.

inserted.
Be sure the ExpressCard
is level when inserting.

ExpressCard
One 26pin Express card slot is available to support one ExpressCard/34mm or one
ExpressCard/54mm expansion card. This new interface is faster by using a serial bus
supporting USB 2.0 and PCI Express instead of the slower parallel bus used in the PC
card slot. (Not compatible with previous PCMCIA cards.)
