Connecting PC Cards
The computer’s PC Card slots are available for storing data and expanding the
communication capabilities of the computer. The computer supports standard Type I, II,
and III PC Cards (PCMCIA and CardBus), and can hold two Type I or II cards or one
Type III card.
The lower slot supports Zoomed Video, which allows a zoomed video card to show high-
quality multimedia presentations.

Inserting a PC Card

2. Slide the PC Card all the way into the slot, until its outer edge is flush with the casing
of the computer.
