Exploring Your Computer’s Features

Using PC Cards

5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3

Hot swapping

With PC Cards, 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, remember not 
to remove a card while it is in use. Otherwise, you could lose 
valuable information. For example:

❖

Do not remove a hard disk card while the system is 
accessing it.

❖

Do not remove a network card while you are connected to 
a network.

❖

Do not remove a SCSI card while any of the SCSI 
devices connected to it are operating.

Before removing a PC Card, stop it by clicking the 

Safely 

Remove Hardware

 icon on the System tray. After the PC 

Card is stopped, it is safe to remove.
