INSERTING EXPRESSCARDS
There are two different width ExpressCards: 34 mm and
54 mm. The connector inside the slot is located on the
left-hand side of the slot. If you insert a 34 mm card,
align it with the left side of the slot when inserting it.
ExpressCards are inserted in the ExpressCard slot (the
top slot).

Figure 4-8. inserting/Removing ExpressCards
See your ExpressCard manual for instructions on the
insertion of your card. Some cards may require that your
notebook is off while inserting them.
To insert an ExpressCard, follow these steps:
1. Make sure there is no ExpressCard currently in the
slot. If there is, see Removing ExpressCards.
2. If the eject button is extended, press it in until it
clicks.
3. Insert your ExpressCard into the slot with the
product label facing up. If you are inserting a 34 mm
card, be sure to align it with the left side of the slot
when inserting it.
4. Push the card firmly into the slot until it is seated in
the connector.
REMOVING EXPRESSCARDS
See your ExpressCard manual for specific instructions
on removing your card. Some cards may require your
notebook to be in Sleep Mode or Off during removal.
To remove an ExpressCard, follow these steps:
1. Unlock the card from the slot by pressing the eject
button associated with the slot in which the card is
located. When pressed, the button will pop out.
2. Firmly press the button again until it is flush with
the notebook. This will eject the card slightly out of
the slot allowing you to remove the card.
■
Inserting or removing an ExpressCard
during your notebook’s shutdown or
bootup process may damage the card
and/or your notebook.
■ Do not insert an ExpressCard into a slot
if there is water or any other substance
on the card as you may permanently
damage the card, your notebook, or
both.
You may be required to log on as Adminis-
trator or a member of the Administrator’s
Group to complete this procedure. If your
computer is connected to a network, net-
work policy settings may also prevent you
from completing this procedure.

■ Windows has a shutdown procedure for
ExpressCards that must be followed
before removing a card. (Review your
operating system manual for the correct
procedure.) It is good practice to remove
devices using the Safely Remove Hard-
ware icon in the Notification Area at the
bottom right of the display.
■
If the dialog box states that the device
cannot be removed, you must save all of
your open files, close any open applica-
tions and shut down your notebook.
