4-12 Expanding Your Computer
Using ExpressCards (Optional)
Depending on the model, your computer has an ExpressCard slot.
ExpressCard supports the PCI Express and USB 2.0 serial data interfaces (supporting
speeds of up to 2.5 Gbps and 480 Mbps respectively), improving speed in data
transfer while conserving power usage.
The ExpressCard slot can accommodate a 54 mm (ExpressCard/54) or 34 mm
(ExpressCard/34) wide ExpressCard. Typical ExpressCards support a very extensive
range of applications including memory, wired and wireless communication cards, and
security devices.
Shown next are the appearances of ExpressCards for your reference.

To insert an ExpressCard:
1. Locate the ExpressCard slot on the right side of the computer and open the
cover.
2. Slide the ExpressCard, with its label facing up, all the way into the slot until
the rear connectors click into place.
