The First Time a PC Card Is Inserted

Each PC Card slot is covered by a PC Card slot protector. These
protectors prevent dust or other foreign materials from damaging
the slots. Before using a PC Card in the PC Card slots, remove the
slot protectors by following these steps:
1. Pull out the eject lever that corresponds to the top slot and
open it out 90 degrees. (See "Removing a PC Card" in this
chapter for more on using the eject lever.)
2. Press the eject lever to eject the PC Card slot protector inserted
in that slot.
3. Grasp the edges of the PC Card slot protector and slide it out
of the slot.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the bottom PC Card slot.
: Compaq recommends using slot protectors when PC Cards
NOTE
are not inserted because they prevent dust and other foreign
materials from getting inside PC Card slots.
