PC Cards that must be followed before
removing a card. (Please review your oper-
ating system manual for the correct proce-

If the dialog box states that the device
cannot be removed, you must save all of
your open files, close any open applica-
tions and shut down your notebook.
If the PC Card has an external connector
and cable, do not pull the cable when
removing the card.
