Removing a memory card

Important

Do not use the remove

hardware

icon in

the taskbar to remove

the memory card. If
you use the remove

hardware icon, your

notebook may not

recognize your

memory card reader

until you restart your

notebook.

To remove a memory card:

■

Pull the memory card out of the notebook.

Adding and removing a PC Card

Your notebook has a PC Card slot (also known as
a PCMCIA card slot). This slot accepts one Type II
card. You do not need to restart your notebook
when changing most cards because your
notebook supports

hot-swapping

.

Hot-swapping means that you can insert a
PC Card while your notebook is running. If your
PC Card does not work after hot-swapping, see
the PC Card manufacturer’s documentation for
further information.
