2.9.2 Installing PC Card in N22A

 Some PC cards require certain system resources to be added. When such PC cards are
used, other system resources may have to be released.
 The front and rear sides of a PC card are defined and thus the card must be inserted to the
mating slot in the defined orientation. Inserting a PC card to the mating slot in the wrong
orientation forcibly may cause the connector and/or slot to be damaged.
 Some PC cards can be inserted to or removed from N22A without turning off the power.
However, any PC card cannot be inserted to or removed from N22A in the suspend (standby)
state.
 If N22A is in the suspend (standby) or pause state, do not install or remove a PC card in or
from N22A. Changing the device configuration of N22A may cause data to be lost.
 Do not install or remove a PC card in or from N22A while one or more applications operate.
 Leave the eject button stored in other than removal of the PC card. Failure to follow this
instruction may cause the card and/or slot to be defected.
 Remove a card, observing the proper procedure. Failure to do so may cause the N22A to
malfunction.
