Digital Media Slot Cards

(Select Models Only)

Optional digital media cards are removable storage cards that

provide a convenient method of storing data and sharing it with

other devices such as PDAs and cameras.

transceivers, rather than storage media.

The 6-in-1 Digital Media Slot (select models only) supports the

following digital media card formats:

■Secure Digital (SD) Memory Card

■MultiMediaCard

■Memory Stick

■Memory Stick Pro

■SmartMedia Card

■xD-Picture Card

ÄCAUTION: This notebook does not support adapters in the 6-in-1 Digital

Media Slot. Inserting any kind of adapter into your Digital Media Slot can

damage the media card or the notebook or both.

ExpressCards (Select Models Only)

An ExpressCard is a next-generation, high-performance PC Card,

but it cannot be used in a standard PC Card slot.

Like standard PC Cards, ExpressCards are designed to conform

to the standard specifications of the Personal Computer Memory

Card International Association (PCMCIA).

Selecting an ExpressCard

ExpressCards use one of 2 interfaces and are available in 2 sizes.

The ExpressCard slot on your computer supports both interfaces

and both sizes. For example, you can use

■An ExpressCard with either a USB interface or a PCI Express

interface.

■A full-size ExpressCard, called ExpressCard/54 1, or a

smaller ExpressCard, called ExpressCard/34 2.

The ExpressCard procedures described in the following sections

are the same for both interfaces and both sizes.

included with your ExpressCard to install device drivers:

■

Install only the device drivers for your operating system.

or enablers, that may also be supplied by the ExpressCard
