Inserting and Removing Cards

All Card Types 
  

•  Insert cards straight into the slots, parallel to the top cover of 

the Qio enclosure

  •  Do not force a card into the slot, as you may damage the card 

or the slot connector

  •  Before removing any memory card, be sure to eject (unmount) 

its mounted volume(s) by dragging its icon to the Eject icon 
in the Dock, or clicking its Eject button in a Finder window; 
otherwise, data on the memory card may be corrupted

Inserting/Removing SxS Media and ExpressCard/34 Adapters 
  

•  If you are using an ExpressCard adapter to which you connect 

cables, always connect the cables to the adapter card before 
inserting it into the Qio enclosure’s slot 

  • To insert a card, push it into the slot until it “clicks” into place

  •  To remove a card, push it further into the slot until it “clicks” 

again; the card will be ejected

  •  Do not pull out a card without first pushing it in; the next 

card you insert into the slot will be ejected immediately and 
may cause a problem

Inserting/Removing P2 Media and CardBus Adapters 
  

•  To insert a card, push it into the slot until it stops; the eject 

button next to the slot will pop out

  • To remove a card, push in the eject button next to the card slot

Inserting/Removing CF (CompactFlash) Cards 
  

• To insert a card, push it into the slot until it stops

  • To remove a card, pull it straight out of the slot

Using the Sonnet PCIe Bus Extender ExpressCard/34 

Adapter

  •  Always connect the external PCIe x1 interface cable to the PCIe 

Bus Extender ExpressCard/34 adapter before inserting it into 
your computer’s ExpressCard slot

  •  Do not eject the PCIe Bus Extender ExpressCard/34 adapter 

from your computer unless the computer is shut off

  • 

 If Your MacBook Pro does NOT have a Thunderbolt port, 
hot-plugging the PCIe Bus Extender ExpressCard/34 
adapter is not supported. 

Insert the adapter into your computer with the Qio enclosure 
attached and powered 

before

 you turn on your computer

6

Chapter 5 – Memory Card and Adapter Card Use

Only change the write protect switch

position when the card is not 

inserted into the Qio 

 • 

 If Your MacBook Pro DOES have a Thunderbolt port, you 
MUST hot-plug the PCIe Bus Extender ExpressCard/34 
adapter

Insert the adapter into your computer with the Qio enclosure 
attached and powered 

after

 you turn on your computer; 

otherwise, Qio will not be recognized in if you boot or restart 
your computer with the Qio plugged in

SxS and P2 Memory Card Write Protect Switches

SxS and P2 memory cards have write protect switches. When 
set to the “WP” or “PROTECT” position, saving, editing and 
deleting data are disabled. Do not change the switch positions on 
SxS or P2 cards when they are in the Qio. If you need to change 
the switch position, follow the instructions on card removal as 
previously described, pull the card out of its slot, change the 
card’s switch position, and then reinsert the card into its slot.
