Use the PC card slot, located on the right side of the device under the media bay, as an interface between your device and a
variety of communications devices, such as network adapters, SCSI adapters, and fax/modems, or to provide additional data
storage capacity. Your device’s PC Card slot supports single Type I or II PC Cards, 32-bit CardBus cards, and Zoomed Video
