Inserting a PC Card
To insert a PC Card proceed as follows:
1
Open the bottom panel on the front 
of your VAIO.
2
Insert the PC Card gently into the PC 
Card slot with the label facing 
upwards.
The PC Card is automatically detected 
by your system and the Safely 
Remove Hardware icon 
 appears 
in the taskbar.
3
Close the cover flap (unless the 
PC Card peripheral prevents it).
You do not need to shut down your computer when 
inserting a PC Card.
Some PC Cards may require you to disable idle devices when using the PC Card.
You may not be able to use some PC Cards or some functions of the PC Card with this computer.
Make sure you use the most recent software driver provided by the PC Card manufacturer.
If the PC Card is operating abnormally, go to Control PanelPerformance and MaintenanceSystem, click the Hardware tab, and then Device 
Manager
. If an “!” mark appears next to the PC Card device, remove the software driver and then reinstall it from the installation CD that 
accompanies the PC Card.
Do not force a PC Card into the slot. It may damage the connector pins. If you have difficulty inserting a PC Card, check that you are inserting the PC 
Card in the correct direction. See the manual supplied with your PC Card for more information on use.
For some PC Cards, if you alternate between Normal power operation and Standby or Hibernate power management modes while the card is 
inserted, you may find that a device connected to your system is not recognised. Reboot your system to correct the problem.
