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:
❖
Never remove a hard disk card or CD-ROM drive card
while the system is accessing the card.
❖
Never remove a network card while you are connected to
the network.
❖
Never remove a SCSI card while any of the SCSI devices
connected to it are operating.
DEFINITION: SCSI is an acronym for Small Computer Systems
Interface. A single SCSI PC Card enables you to connect several
SCSI devices to your computer at the same time.
Before removing a PC Card, stop it by clicking the Safely
Remove Hardware icon in the system tray.
