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. 
If you use a storage device such as a CD-ROM or HDD connected to a 
16-bit PC card, modem speed might be slow or communication 
interrupted. 
Installing a PC card 
One PC card connector is located on the right side of the computer. The 
computer’s hot-install feature lets you install PC cards while the 
computer’s power is on. 
 Do not install a PC card while the computer is in Standby or Hibernation 
mode. Some cards might not work properly. 
To install a PC card, follow the steps below. 
1. 
Insert the PC card. 
2. 
Press gently to ensure a firm connection. 
 
Installing a PC card 
After installing the card, refer to the card’s documentation and check the 
configuration in Windows to make sure it is appropriate for your card.
