Installing a PC Card

Removing the PC Card

Do not remove a PC Card while
the computer is in suspend mode
or hibernation mode. Otherwise,
the system might hang when
resuming.

Before removing a storage PC Card, such as a hard disk PC Card,
a Flash memory PC Card, or a SRAM PC Card, from the PC Card
slot,

you must stop the PC Card. Otherwise, data on the PC Card

might be corrupted or lost.

Stop the card by selecting Stop from the “Actions” menu.

Press the PC Card eject button to pop out the button.
Then press it again until the PC Card pops out.

Remove the PC Card and store it safely for future use.

For more information for using a PC Card

Online User's Guide.

The Stop option appears in gray when you are in
CardSoft mode or when the card is already stopped.
