PC cards
The computer is equipped with a PC card expansion slot that can accommodate one
5 mm Type II card. Any PC card that meets industry standards (manufactured by
TOSHIBA or other vendor) can be installed. The slots support 16-bit PC cards,
including PC card 16’s multifunction card and CardBus PC cards.
CardBus supports the new standard of 32-bit PC cards. The bus provides superior
performance for the greater demands of multimedia data transmission.
Installing a PC card
The PC card connector is located on the left side of the computer.
Windows’ not-installed feature lets you install PC cards while the computer’s power
is on.
NOTES: 1. Do not install a PC card while the computer is in standby
or hibernation mode. Some cards might not work properly.
2. An HDD or CD-ROM connected to a 16-bit PC card, might
affect the performance of the computer’s sound system and
data transmission, including slower transmission speeds
and dialing errors.
To install a PC card, follow the steps below:
1. Insert the PC card.
2. Press gently to ensure a firm connection.
