4.3.2 EJECTING A CARD
To remove a card from the card slot, there is a card eject
button.
The double slot model has two eject buttons. The eject button
at the left hand side of the card slots serves the upper card slot,
the eject button on the right hand side the lower card slot.
Arrows are printed on the eject buttons that point to the card
slot they serve.
To remove the PCMCIA card push the corresponding eject
button. The card is released from the connector inside and it
may now be pulled free.
CAUTION: Do NOT attempt to pull the card free
without first pressing the card eject button!
Do NOT attempt to remove the card when the yellow
LED is lit (see also next section)!
WARNING: Avoid the situation where foreign ob-
jects, dust, liquids etc. can enter the MCDISK-D
through the card slot opening. This can cause se-
vere damage.
4.3 CARD HANDLING
Follow the instructions as described in this section when
inserting and ejecting PCMCIA cards. Refer to Figures 4.1 -
4.3 to locate indicated items.
4.3.1 INSERTING A CARD
When inserting a card into one of the card slots of the
MCDISK-D, care must be taken to ensure that the card is
inserted correctly. Follow these steps to insert the card:
1. Orientate the memory card so that the printed surface (e.g.
with manufacturer name/logo) is up and the 68-pin connec-
tor points towards the MCDISK-D card slot. Note that some
cards have an arrow indicating direction of insertion.
2. Insert the card into the slot. It should slide easily into the slot
until approx. 15 mm remain exposed and the card comes
to a soft stop. At this point gentle pressure is required to
make the final connection between the memory card and
the card slot connector.
If the card comes to a sudden stop earlier than described
above, do not press any further! Key guides on the card and
in the card slot ensure that the card cannot be fully inserted
(does not reach the connector) when inserted the wrong
way! Remove the card, check orientation and try again.
3. When the card is fully inserted a small portion of the card will
remain exposed from the card slot opening. The red LED on
the front of the MCDISK-D will go off indicating that the card
is present. If the red LED remains lit then the card has not
been inserted correctly or cannot be operated by the
MCDISK-D (e.g. bad card type).
WARNING: Do NOT use excessive force to over-
come any resistance when inserting the card. This
should not be necessary and will severely damage
both the card and the MCDISK-D.
