CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product
Information Guide.
NOTE: A PC Card is not a bootable device.
The PC Card slot has one connector that supports a single Type I or Type II card. The PC Card slot supports CardBus technology and extended PC Cards. "Type" of card refers to its thickness, not its functionality.
The ExpressCard slot has one connector that supports 54-mm cards. The slot also supports adapters for 34-mm cards.
Card Blanks
Your computer shipped with a plastic blank installed in the card slots. Blanks protect unused slots from dust and other particles. Save the blank for use when no PC Card is installed in the slot; blanks from other computers may not fit your computer.
An extended card (for example, a wireless network adapter) is longer than a standard card and extends outside the computer. Follow these precautions when using extended PC or ExpressCards:
Protect the exposed end of an installed card. Striking the end of the card can damage the system board.
Always remove an extended card before you pack the computer in its carrying case.
Installing a PC Card or ExpressCard
You can install a PC Card or ExpressCard in the computer while the computer is running. The computer automatically detects the card.
Cards are generally marked with a symbol (such as a triangle or an arrow) to indicate which end to insert into the slot. The cards are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. If card orientation is not clear, see the documentation that came with the card.
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product
Information Guide.
PC Card
Hold the card with its orientation symbol pointing into the slot and the top side of the card facing up.
The latch may need to be in the "in" position before you insert the card.
Slide the card into the slot until the card is completely seated in its connector.
If you encounter too much resistance, do not force the card. Check the card orientation and try again.
The computer recognizes most cards and automatically loads the appropriate device driver. If the configuration program tells you to load the manufacturer's drivers, use the floppy disk or CD that came with the PC Card.

Removing a Card or Blank
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in your Product
Information Guide.
NOTICE: Click the
