Using PC Cards
Your computer includes a PC Card slot. PC Cards allow you to connect portable external devices.
Inserting a PC Card
To insert a PC Card, proceed as follows:
1 Insert the PC Card into the PC Card slot, front label (1) facing up.
2 Gently push the card into the slot until the card is fixed into the connector.
Be sure to 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.
You do not need to shut down the computer before inserting or removing a PC Card.
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 recognised. Reboot your system to correct the problem.
The computer will return to its original state if you restart it.
