Using PC Cards
Your VAIO computer has a PC Card slot that supports Type I or Type II PC Cards. PC Cards allow you to connect
portable external devices.
Inserting a PC Card
To insert a PC Card, proceed as follows:
1 Slide the front panel cover in the direction of the arrow to open it.
2 Insert the PC Card gently into the PC Card slot, as shown.
The PC Card is automatically detected by your system.
The Safely Remove Hardware icon appears in the taskbar.
You do not need to shut down your computer when
inserting a PC Card.
Some PC Cards may require you to disable idle devices when
using the PC Card.
You may not be able to use some PC Cards or some functions
of the PC Card with this computer.
Make sure you use the most recent software driver provided
by the PC Card manufacturer.
If an “!” mark appears on the Device Manager tab in the
System Properties dialog box, remove the software driver
and then reinstall it.
Do not force a PC Card into the slot. It may damage the
connector pins. If you have difficulty inserting a PC Card,
check that you are inserting the PC Card in the correct
direction. See the manual supplied with your PC Card for more
information on use.
For some PC Cards, if you alternate between Normal power operation and Standby or Hibernate power management modes while the card is
inserted, you may find that a device connected to your system is not recognized. Reboot your system to correct the problem.
