Expansion Options
Using an expansion device
For example:
❖ Never remove a hard disk card while the system is accessing
the card.
❖ Never remove a network card while you are connected to the
network.
❖ Never remove a SCSI card while any of the SCSI devices
connected to it are operating.
DEFINITION: SCSI is an acronym for Small Computer
Systems Interface. A single SCSI PC Card enables you to
connect several SCSI devices to your computer at the same
time.
Before removing a PC Card, stop it by clicking the PC Card
(PCMCIA) icon on the taskbar (see Removing a PC Card on page
128).
Using an expansion device
The expansion port allows you to connect your computer to an
expansion device, which is an excellent investment if you’re using
your computer both in and out of the office.
When you return to your desk, you probably want to connect to
your network, print reports from your computer, or use a mouse
instead of the AccuPoint II. Connecting cables for each of these
devices every time you return to the office is time-consuming and
inconvenient. With an expansion device, you can leave external
devices connected while you are using your computer away from
your desk. When you return, you can quickly connect your
computer and have immediate access to all the devices.
