Adding and removing a PC Card

40
To remove a memory card:
Pull the memory card out of the notebook.
■
Your notebook has a PC Card slot (also known as
a PCMCIA card slot). This slot accepts one Type II
card. You do not need to restart your notebook
when changing most cards because your
notebook supports hot-swapping.
Hot-swapping means that you can insert a
PC Card while your notebook is running. If your
PC Card does not work after hot-swapping, see
the PC Card manufacturer's documentation for
further information.
To insert a PC Card:
Push the card firmly into the PC Card slot,
■
label-side up, until the outer edge of the
card is flush with the side of your
notebook.
