Hot swapping

With PC Cards, 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, remember not
to remove a card while it is in use. Otherwise, you could lose
valuable information. For example:
Do not remove a hard disk card while the system is
accessing it.
Do not remove a network card while you are connected to
a network.
Do not remove a SCSI card while any of the SCSI
devices connected to it are operating.
