Removing PC Cards

See your PC Card manual for specific instructions
on removing your card. Some cards may require
your notebook to be in Suspend Mode or Off
during removal.
Windows has a shutdown procedure for
PC Cards that must be followed before
removing a card. (Review your operating
system manual for the correct procedure.)
It is good practice to remove devices
using the Unplug or Eject Hard-ware icon
in the system tray.
If the dialog box states that the device
cannot be removed, you must save all of
your open files, close any open
applications and shut down your
notebook.
1. Unlock the card from the slot by pressing the
eject button associated with the slot in which
the card is located. When pressed, the button
will pop out.
2. Firmly press the button again until it is flush
with the notebook. This will eject the card
slightly out of the slot allowing you to remove
the card.
If the PC Card has an external connector and
cable, do not pull the cable when removing
the card.
