PC Card Slots
Your NEC Versa L320 has two Cardbus slots for inserting two PC or Cardbus cards.
The slots support two Type II cards or one Type III PC Card.
Using the system’s PC Card slots, you can add optional PC Cards and connect external
devices to your NEC Versa L320. These devices include devices, such as modems,
LAN cards, and storage cards.
Inserting a PC Card
Follow these steps to insert a PC Card in your system.
Some PC Cards require additional system resources. Before
inserting a PC Card you might need to disable either the IR port, USB port, or internal
modem. Check the Windows device manager to ensure that one of these devices is
disabled before inserting a PC Card.
For information about enabling and disabling devices on your NEC Versa L320, see
“Enabling and Disabling Devices,” later in this chapter.

Use the PC Card software preinstalled on your system to check PC Card slot

shows which slot contains a PC Card and which is empty.
