ExpressCards
ExpressCards allow you to connect peripheral devices such as memory cards, wired and wireless communications, printers, scanners, microphone, and so on,
to your laptop computer. ExpressCards replace PC cards.
ExpressCards are installed on externally accessible ExpressCard slots. ExpressCard slot on laptops and desktops is normally installed with a blank, when no
ExpressCard is installed, to protect the slot from dust particles. You must remove the blank to install an ExpressCard.
