Non-memory CompactFlash Cards that require a cable connection (for example, network
interface cards, pagers, or modem cards), must be inserted in the PC Card slot rather than
the CompactFlash Card slot. To insert a CompactFlash Card into the PC Card slot, you will
need a PC Card adapter. For a list of recommended PC Card adapters, go to the Hewlett-
Packard Web site at www.hp.com/jornada.
Installing a PC Card or CompactFlash Card
When you install expansion cards, the PC Card and CompactFlash memory
modules appear as folders in the My Handheld PC folder. If you have two
cards installed, the folder called Storage card1 represents the first card you
installed, and the folder called Storage card2 represents the second card. In
some cases, additional folders may appear; for example, Storage card3,
Storage card4, etc. You can eliminate unused folders by performing a soft
reset. (For more information, see the Resetting section in chapter 8.)
Many PC Cards use considerable power, and can quickly drain your battery. Connect to AC
power while using PC Cards.
The HP Jornada has a unique expansion module with two slots to accommo-
date both a PC card and a CompactFlash Card in a small, portable size. You
can install either a PC Card or CompactFlash Card, or install both at the same
time.
PC Card
The PC Card fits in the slot on the left side of the HP Jornada.
To install a PC Card
1. Carefully slide the card into the PC Card slot. The expansion module
will extend from the bottom of the unit.
