❖

speaker.
❖
For headphones, use the computer’s volume control dial.
Using PC Cards
Your Tecra
®
A3 Series computer comes with one PC Card
slot and supports two types of PC Cards:
❖
Type I cards—You can install one of these cards.
❖
Type II cards—You can install one of these cards.
TECHNICAL NOTE: For PCMCIA-compatible PC Cards, check
the package to make sure they conform to the PCMCIA 2.1
standard (or later). Other cards may work with your computer,
but are likely to be much more difficult to set up and use.
Hot swapping
With PC Cards, you can replace one PC Card with another
while the computer is on. This is called “hot swapping.”
Hot swapping precautions
Although you can insert a PC Card at any time, remember not
to remove a card while it is in use. Otherwise, you could lose
valuable information. For example:
❖
Do not remove a hard disk card while the system is
accessing it.
❖
Do not remove a network card while you are connected to
a network.
❖
Do not remove a SCSI card while any of the SCSI
devices connected to it are operating.
