Removing PCMCIA Cards



Removing PCMCIA Cards

After removing the PCMCIA cover, and filler plug if it is installed, you can insert or remove PCMCIA cards during most computer operations.

To insert a PCMCIA card, perform the following steps:
  1.  Insert the PCMCIA card into one of the available slots,  with the long row of pin sockets facing the computer and the label on  the PCMCIA card facing up.  When the card is in place, the blue eject button at the left  of the slot pops out. Do not force the card.  If the card does not fit into the slot, turn it over.

    NOTE:   A Type III PCMCIA card occupies both PCMCIA slots.  To insert the card, aim its bottom ridges at the lower PCMCIA card slot.

  2.  Replace the outer cover over the PCMCIA slots.


To remove a PCMCIA card, perform the following steps:
  1.  Use a small pointed object such as the point of a pen  to press the blue eject button located to the left of  the PCMCIA card slot.

    NOTE:   A Type III PCMCIA card occupies both PCMCIA slots.  To remove the card, press the bottom eject button.

  2.  Carefully slide the PCMCIA card out of the slot.
  3.  If both PCMCIA slots are empty, replace the filler plug and  replace the outer cover over the PCMCIA slots.


NOTE: Do not remove PCMCIA cards while the system is in Suspend or Hibernate mode.
If you remove a PCMCIA card while the system is in either mode, you might lose configuration information. Or, if you remove a PCMCIA card and insert another card, your system might not recognize the new card.
