Installing a PC Card
Simply slide the PC Card in until it snaps into place. Refer to the
operation manual of each card on how to install the card (insertion is
typically label-side up).
Installing/Removing the PC Card
Your computer has one PC Card slot. This slot conforms to the PC Card Standard;
therefore, communications and SCSI devices may be utilized. The slot allows you to
use one Type I or Type II card.
