Chapter 2: Using Your System 31 Using PC Cards Your notebook's PC Card slots (also known as PCMCIA card slots) are located behind the PC Card doors. These slots accept PC Card 16, PC Card 32 (CardBus), or Zoomed Video cards. If you ordered your notebook with a modem, then the modem drivers are already installed. You do not need to restart your notebook when changing most cards because your notebook supports "hot-swapping. " This means that you can usually insert a PC Card, and the system recognizes it without shutting down the notebook. If your PC Card does not work when hot-swapping, refer to the PC Card manufacturer's documentation for further information.

About CardBus Cards The relatively new 32-bit CardBus technology (sometimes referred to as "PC Card 32 cards") supports DMA and bus mastering technologies that are useful in performance-intensive applications like full-motion video, high speed network connections, full-motion video capture and display, and high performance peripheral interfaces. While not many 32-bit CardBus cards are on the market yet, you can use them interchangeably with 16-bit cards in your notebook. However, please note that some Solo docking solutions do not support CardBus. CardBus cards function only in your notebook's PC Card slots. Caution!Be sure to wait for the "Safe to remove" message before you remove the CardBus card, or you may crash your system and lose all your work. Chapter 2: Using Your System 33 USB (Universal Serial Bus) Ports USB is a new type of serial interface that serves as a single port alternative to connecting devices that traditionally have required their own specific ports such as mice, joysticks, keyboards, scanners, video conferencing cameras, and speakers. The USB automatically installs and configures the necessary drivers and the system resources. Using Fast IR Ports The IR (infrared) port uses infrared technology to send and receive signals between the notebook and a remote device equipped with an IR port. A variety of desktop computers, printers, and other peripherals are IRequipped. Use the manufacturer's documentation to set up a remote IR device. If you do not use the IR port and need to make more resources (IRQs) available for other commonly used devices, the IR port can be disabled. See Help on enabling/disabling the IR port for more information. 34 Using Your Gateway SoloTM 9100 Multimedia Notebook Using the Composite Video Ports The Composite Video Out port allows you to view your notebook's display on a TV screen by connecting the notebook to the TV or VCR using a standard video cable.
