Hot swapping precautions
Although you can insert a PC Card at any time, to avoid data
loss never remove a card while it is in use. For example:
❖
Never remove a hard disk card or CD-ROM drive card
while the system is accessing the card.
❖
Never remove a network card while you are connected to
a network.
❖
Never remove a SCSI card while any of the SCSI devices
connected to it are operating.
Before removing a PC Card, shut it down by clicking the PC
Card (PCMCIA) icon on the taskbar. Once the PC Card has
stopped, you can safely remove it.

Computing tips
❖
Save your work frequently.
Your work stays in the computer’s temporary memory
until you save it to the disk. You will lose all unsaved
work, if, for example, a system error occurs and you must
restart your computer, or your battery runs out of charge
while you are working. Your computer can be configured
to warn you when the battery is running low.
HINT: Some programs have an automatic save feature that you can turn on.
This feature saves your file to the hard disk at preset intervals. See your
software documentation for details.
❖
Back up your files to diskettes (or other removable
storage media) on a regular basis. Label the backup
copies clearly and store them in a safe place.
❖
Scan all new files for viruses.
❖
Never turn off the computer if a drive-in-use light
indicates a drive is active.
