ExpressCard Reader

NOTE:
PCMCIA cards will not work in the ExpressCard reader.
The ExpressCard slot has one connector that supports both 34-mm and 54-mm ExpressCards.
For more information on WWAN support with the ExpressCard, see "Mobile Broadband or Wireless
Wide Area Network (WWAN)" on page 78.

Extended Cards

An extended card is longer than a standard card and extends outside the computer. Follow these
precautions when using extended cards:
• Protect the exposed end of an installed card. Striking the end of the card can damage the system board.
• Always remove an extended card before you pack the computer in its carrying case.

Installing a Media Memory Card or ExpressCard

You can install a media memory card or ExpressCard in the computer while the computer is running.
The computer automatically detects the card.
Cards are generally marked with a symbol (such as a triangle or an arrow) to indicate which end to insert
into the slot. The cards are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. If card orientation is not clear, see the
documentation that came with the card.
CAUTION:
Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product
Information Guide.
