Connecting PC Cards
The notebook's PC card slot expands the notebook's data storage and communication
capabilities, and supports standard Type I, II, and III PC cards (PCMCIA and CardBus).
Do not remove a PC card while the notebook is reading or writing data. If you do, you
could lose data, or the notebook could stop responding.

To insert or remove a PC card

Inserting a PC Card
1. Hold the card with its face up and its connector holes toward the card slot.
2. Slide the PC card into the bottom slot, and press firmly to make sure it seats properly.
Most cards are properly seated when the outer edge is flush with the casing of the
notebook, but some cards are designed to protrude from the case.
Removing a PC card
Before removing a PC card, you must use the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the
taskbar, or else turn off the notebook. Otherwise, you could lose data.
1. Stop the PC card: double-click the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the taskbar,
select the PC card you want to stop, then click Stop.
