Working with PCMCIA (PC) Cards By installing PC Cards, you can add functio ns to your notebook compu ter similar to
those found on add-in boards for desktop computers. Available PC Cards include:
• Input/output, such as modem, network, video capture, and SCSI cards. • Storage, such as hard drive and flash memory cards. Your computer includes the following PC Card support:
• One PC-Card slot: You can install Type I or II cards in the slot. • CardBus hardware and software: CardBus enables the computer to use 32-bit
PCMCIA Cards. Windows supports 32-bit and 16-bit PC Cards.
• Zoomed video: Both PC Card slots and the video chip on your computer support zoomed video. When you inst all a zoom video PC Card slot, data can
be transferred directly from the PC Card to video and audio system s without
going through t he microprocessor. Video conferencing and real-time
multimedia devices, such as vi deo cameras, are supported by zoomed video.

• Keep cards away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, and liquids.
• Do not drop, bend, flex, or crush cards when handling. • Keep dust, oil, water, magnets, and static electricity away from PC Cards.
• When a card is not in use, carry it in its protective carrying case.
• Some PC Cards include cables that extend from the back of the cards. Be
careful not to bend or put excessive strain on these cables.
Using PC Cards You can install PC Cards while the computer is on.
To insert a PC Card into a slot:
1. If the “Slot Guard” is in place, remove it.
2. Align the card with a slot and insert the card into the slot until it locks in place. See
“Using PC Cards” on page 38.
