PC cards
Your computer allows you to install PC Cards (optional).
If you are using a PC Card that does not support hot swapping, please
make sure you turn off the computer before installing/ removing the card.
There are some PC Cards on the market that generate a lot of heat. If you
use these cards for a long period of time, their performance might become
unstable as a result of that heat. Also if you use them together with other
cards, those cards' performance might become unstable as well, because
of the heat.

computer is turned on. But there are also PC Cards that will not support
this function.
