Using PC Cards
Your notebook’s PC Card slots (also known as PCMCIA card slots) are
located behind the PC Card doors on the right side of your notebook (see
“PC Card slots” on Page 11). These slots accept PC Card 16, PC Card 32
(CardBus) or Zoomed Video cards.
Your notebook is configured to automatically accept most PC Cards. If you
ordered your notebook with a modem, then the modem drivers are already
installed.
You do not need to restart your notebook when changing most cards
because your notebook supports “hot-swapping.” This means that you can
usually insert a PC Card and the system recognizes it without shutting down
the notebook. If your PC Card does not work when hot-swapping, refer to
the PC Card manufacturer’s documentation for further information.
