CHAPTER 2: Checking Out Your Notebook

Adding and removing a PC Card
Your notebook has a PC Card slot (also known as
a PCMCIA card slot). This slot accepts one Type II
card. You do not need to restart your notebook
when changing most cards because your
notebook supports hot-swapping.
Hot-swapping means that you can insert a
PC Card while your notebook is running. If your
PC Card does not work after hot-swapping, see
the PC Card manufacturer’s documentation for
further information.
To insert a PC Card:
■ Push the card firmly into the PC Card slot,
label-side up, until the outer edge of the
card is flush with the side of your
notebook.
To remove a PC Card:
Important
If the remove
hardware icon does
not appear on the
taskbar, click the show
hidden
icons button.
1 Click the remove hardware icon in the
taskbar, the PC Card name, then click Stop.
-OR-
Turn off your notebook.
2 Release the eject button by pressing the
PC Card eject button once.
