Hot swapping
One of the great things about PC Cards is that you can
replace one PC Card with another while the computer is on.
This is called “hot swapping.”
Hot swapping precautions
Although you can insert a PC Card at any time, to avoid data
loss never remove a card while it is in use. For example:
❖
Never remove a hard disk card while the system is
accessing it.
❖
Never remove a network card while you are connected to
a network.
Before removing a PC Card, stop it by clicking the Safely
Remove Hardware icon on the system tray. Once the PC
Card has stopped, you can safely remove it.

Computing tips
❖
Save your work frequently.
Your work stays in the computer’s temporary memory
until you save it to the disk. You will lose all unsaved
work, if, for example, a system error occurs and you must
restart your computer, or your battery runs out of charge
while you are working. Your computer can be configured
to warn you when the battery is running low.
HINT: Some programs have an automatic save feature that you can
turn on. This feature saves your file to the hard disk at preset
intervals. See your software documentation for details.
❖
Back up your files to a removable storage media on a
regular basis. Label the backup copies clearly and store
them in a safe place.
❖
Scan all new files for viruses.
