Using PC Cards
Your VAIO desktop 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
Insert the PC Card gently into the PC Card slot with the label facing upwards.
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 recognised. Reboot your system to correct the problem.
