Using PC Cards
Your computer includes two PC card slots. PC cards allow you to connect 
portable external devices such as another hard disk drive, or to connect to a 
network.
To insert a PC card
Use the lower slot for Type III PC cards. 
Pull the PC card release button out from the computer and push it in 
toward the computer.
The PC card slots can accommodate two Type I or two Type II PC cards, or one Type III 
PC card. These slots are compatible with a Card Bus. 
Some PC cards may require that you disable idle devices when using the PC card. You 
can use Sony Notebook Setup to disable devices. See “Displaying the Sony Notebook 
Setup Screen” in the online document Customizing Your VAIO® Notebook for details.
Be sure to use the most recent software driver provided by the PC card manufacturer.
If an “!” mark appears on the Device Manager tab in the System Properties dialog 
box, remove the software driver and then reinstall it.
You may not be able to use some PC cards or some functions of the PC card with this 
computer.
You do not need to shut down the computer before inserting or removing a PC card.
