but are likely to be much more difficult to set up and use.

two types of PC Cards:
❖ Type I cards—You can install one of these cards.
❖ Type II cards—You can install one of these cards.
Inserting a PC Card
Use caution when lifting or turning your computer. Failure to
do so may result in damage to components, such as cables,
attached to your computer, or to the computer itself.
Before you insert a PC Card, refer to the documentation that
comes with the card to see if you need to do anything before
you insert it.
To insert a PC Card:
1 Turn off the computer.
You may also hot swap a PC Card. Stop the PC Card by
clicking the Safely Remove Hardware icon on the
System tray, then clicking to select the PC Card device.
After the PC Card is stopped, it is safe to remove.
2 Locate the PC Card slot on the left side of the computer.
3 Insert the PC Card.
