Using PC Cards
Your notebook includes a PC card slot. PC cards allow you to connect portable
external devices, such as a CD-ROM drive.
To Insert a PC Card
1
Extend the PC card release button out and away from the notebook and then
push it in towards the notebook.
2
Remove the PC card slot protector.
✍
The PC card slot can accommodate one Type I or Type II PC card. This slot is
compatible with 16 bit card and Card Bus. ZV (Zoomed Video) port is not available.
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 manual 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 do not need to shut down the notebook before inserting or removing a PC card.
