Notes on using PC Cards
For some PC Cards, if you alternate between normal power operation and
the Standby or Hibernate power management modes while the card is
inserted, you may find that a device connected to your system is not
recognized. Restart your system to correct the problem.
Some PC Cards may require that you disable idle devices when using the PC
Card. You can use Sony Notebook Setup to disable devices. See “Displaying
the Sony Notebook Setup Screen” for more information.
Be sure to use the most recent software driver provided by the PC Card
manufacturer.
Do not force a PC Card into the slot as this may damage the connector pins.
Do not carry your notebook while touching the head of a PC Card (such as a
wireless LAN card), as pressure or shock may damage the connector pins.
