The PCMCIA slot supports “hot swapping” of PCMCIA adapter, allowing you to insert 

or remove the Horizons Wireless LAN Card from the slot whenever you like even 

when power to your computer is on. However, you should always disable the Horizons 

Wireless LAN Card prior to card removal to allow Windows to log off from the network 

server. Disable the Horizons Wireless LAN Card properly and disconnect power to the 

PC Card slot.
