Hot swapping

One of the great things about PC Cards is that you can
replace one PC Card with another while the computer is on.
This is called "hot swapping."
Hot swapping precautions
Although you can insert a PC Card at any time, to avoid data
loss never remove a card while it is in use. For example:
❖
Never remove an ATA card while the system is accessing
it.
❖
Never remove a network card while you are connected to
a network.
