Hot Swapping
One of the really great things about PC cards is that you can
exchange one PC card for another card even while the computer is
on. This is called “hot swapping.” For example, if you want to
switch between a hard disk and a modem PC card, you can do it
while you’re working without turning the computer off and back
on again.
Hot Swapping Cautions
While you can insert a PC card at any time, applying a bit of com-
mon sense about when you remove a card will make your comput-
ing life much happier. Just remember not to remove a card while
it’s in use. You probably won’t break anything, but you could lose
valuable information. For example:
❖
Do not remove a modem card while it is communicating.
❖
Do not remove a hard disk card while the system is accessing
the card.
❖
Do not remove a SCSI card while any of the SCSI devices con-
nected to it are operating.
❖
Do not remove a network card while the network drivers are
loaded.
Before removing a PC card, stop the card by clicking the PC Card
(PCMCIA) icon on the taskbar.
Inserting PC Cards
OK. You've bought your first PC card and want to install it. This
section describes what to do.
Toshiba provides CardSoft for your PC card installations.
Even if your PC card comes with a version of Card and Socket
Services, you should use the files included from Toshiba.
