Using PC Card Sockets
The Notebook provides system expansion capabilities with two PC card
sockets (previously referred to as PCMCIA). PC cards to be inserted can
be LAN, fax/modem, communication devices, or expanded memory. Both
sockets support 3.3V 32-bit PC cards, referred to as CardBus. The
CardBus sockets are backward compatible with 5V 16-bit PC cards.
There are three types of PC cards. Type I measures 3.3mm thick; Type II
5.0mm; and Type III 10.5mm.
The PC card sockets accommodate one Type III card or two Type II cards
and the lower socket named Socket A is capable of ZV (Zoomed
Video), which allows a direct connection between a PC card and video
devices that enables high quality video playback.
Inserting PC Cards
1. Open the access door (Figure 2-15).
2. Align the PC card with the slot and push it in firmly until it locks into
place (Figure 2-16).
