4.1.4 Removing PC Cards

Before removing a PC Card, stop it running from the configuration utility on the
taskbar. Failure to do so could result in data loss. Never try to remove a PC Card
by pulling on its cable, if one is attached.
1. Press the release latch.
2. Press the latch again to eject the card.
3. Remove the card.

4.1.5 Express Card Types

The Express Card slot supports one 54mm type PCI-Express card. It supports both USB 2.0
and PCI Express technology, which improves bus speed in data transfer and requires less
power than PC Cards.

4.1.6 Installing and Removing Express Cards

Express Cards, with hot-plug feature, allow you to install and remove cards when your
notebook is running. The card will be detected automatically when installed.
Usually Express Cards have a mark or symbol to show which end to insert into the slot.
Insert the card according to the orientation symbol, and slide the card into the slot.
To remove it, pull it out gently.
