Smart Cards
Smart cards provide valuable tools for security, data storage, and special programs (see
Cards).
Card Blanks
Your computer shipped with a plastic blank installed in the card slots. Blanks protect unused slots from
dust and other particles. Save the blank for use when no card is installed in the slots; blanks from
other computers may not fit your computer.
To remove a blank, see
Extended Cards
An extended PC Card (for example, a wireless network adapter) is longer than a standard PC Card and
extends outside the computer. Follow these precautions when using extended PC Cards:
Protect the exposed end of an installed card. Striking the end of the card can damage the
system board.
Always remove an extended PC Card before you pack the computer in its carrying case.
Installing a PC Card or ExpressCard
You can install a PC Card or ExpressCard in the computer while the computer is running. The computer
automatically detects the card.
PC Cards and ExpressCards are generally marked with a symbol (such as a triangle or an arrow) to
indicate which end to insert into the slot. The cards are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. If card
orientation is not clear, see the documentation that came with the card.
CAUTION:
Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety
instructions in the Product Information Guide.
PC Card
1. Hold the card with its orientation symbol pointing into the slot and the top side of the card
facing up. The latch may need to be in the "in" position before you insert the card.
