The PC card slots accept type-I, type-II, and type-III PC cards. It also supports the 32-bit CardBus standard or Zoomed Video(ZV) port compliant PC card. You can insert a combination of two type-I and type-II cards simultaneously. Because of the thickness of a type-III card, you can only use a single type-III card at a time. When using a ZV port compliant PC card, insert it into the lower slot. You can use PC cards to add many different features to your computer such as a network adapter, a SCSI host adapter, and so on. If you use a PC card to add a feature that already exists on your computer, such as a fax/modem, this may cause problems as the devices compete for limited resources. Some PC cards can draw power from the system even when they are not being used. If you are operating your computer on battery power, we recommend that you remove PC cards from the PC card slot when you are not using them. 4 Inserting a PC Card 1. Most cards are marked with an arrow to show which of the narrow edges inserts into the slot. Insert the card into an empty slot and press it firmly so that it engages with the connector inside the slot. The PC card edge should be flush with the side of the computer when it is fully inserted.

Configuring a PC Card The Windows operating system immediately detects the insertion of the card. If Windows recognizes the card, it automatically loads any drivers required by the card, and allocates any resources that are required by the card. Windows usually displays a New Hardware Found dialog box that tells you that the card has been successfully configured. The next time you use the card, Windows configures it automatically without interruption. 4 If Windows cannot recognize the card, or lacks the drivers or software to run the card, an Add New Hardware Wizard appears. Follow the prompts of the series of dialog boxes generated by the Add New Hardware Wizard. If a dialog box asks for the location of drivers or software, you can click the Have Disk button and browse to the location of the software. The next time you use the card, Windows configures it automatically without interruption. When a card is inserted, the Unplug or Eject Hardware icon ( ) appears on the taskbar.
