PC Cards
Your LifeBook notebook supports Type I, Type II and
Type III PC Cards, which can perform a variety of func-
tions depending on which type of card you install. You
can install one or two PC Cards at a time, depending on
its type. Type I/II PC Cards can be installed together,
while Type III PC Cards must be installed alone.
Some available PC Cards:
■
Local area network (LAN) cards (Type II)
■
IDE solid-state disk cards (Type II)
■
SCSI cards (Type II)
■
Hard Drive (ATA) cards (Type III)
■
Other PC Cards that conform to PCMCIA 2.1 or
CardBus standards
For further information, refer to the instructions
supplied with your PC Card.
INSTALLING PC CARDS
PC Cards are installed in the PC Card slot. To install a
PC Card(s), follow these steps:
1. See your PC Card manual for instructions on the
installation of your card. Some cards may require
that your notebook is off while installing them.
2. Make sure there is no PC Card currently in the slot.
If there is, see Removing PC Cards.
3. If either of the eject buttons is extended, press it in
until it clicks.
4. Insert your PC Card into the slot with the product
label facing up.
5. Push the card firmly into the slot until it is seated in
the connector.
REMOVING PC CARDS
To remove a PC Card(s), follow these steps:
1. See your PC Card manual for specific instructions
on removing your card. Some PC Cards may require
your LifeBook notebook to be in Suspend Mode or
Off while removing them.
2. 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.
3. 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.

Installing or removing a PC Card(s)
during your LifeBook notebook’s shut-
down or bootup process may damage
the card and/or your LifeBook note-
book.
■ Do not insert a PC Card into a slot if
there is water or any other substance on
the card as you may permanently
damage the card, your LifeBook note-
book, or both.
You may be required to log on as an
Administrator or a member of the Admin-
istrator’s Group to complete this proce-
dure. If your computer is connected to
a network, network policy settings may
also prevent you from completing this
procedure.
■ Windows has a shutdown procedure for
PC Cards that must be followed before
removing a card. (Review your operating
system manual for the correct proce-
dure.) It is good practice to remove
devices using the Unplug or Eject Hard-
ware icon in the system tray.
■ 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.
If the PC Card(s) has an external connector
and cable, do not pull the cable when
removing the card.
