4.1 PC Cards
4.1.1 PC Card Types
The PC Card slot supports one Type II card. It also supports CardBus
technology and extended PC Cards. "Type" refers to the card's thickness, not
what it does.
A PC Card is not a bootable device.
4.1.2 Extended PC Cards
An extended PC Card is longer than a standard PC Card. When using extended
PC Cards, follow these precautions:
Try not to hit the exposed end of the installed card. If the end of the card
is struck, the system board may be damaged.
Always remove an extended PC Card before packing your notebook in its
carry case.
4.1.3 Installing PC Cards
PC Cards may be 'hot-swapped', which means you can install a card while your
notebook computer G-MAX N501 is running. The card will be detected
automatically by the operating system and ready for use.
Usually PC Cards have a mark or symbol to show which end to insert into the
slot. Cards are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. Refer to the PC Card’s
literature that comes with your card if the orientation is unclear.
