Others, such as hard disk cards, network cards, and SCSI adapters, may need to be set up to work with your computer. To set up your PC Card, refer to the documentation that came with the card or refer to your operating system manual or online help. Inserting a PC Card You can only use PC Cards in the bottom slot or ExpressCards in the top slot.
