Removing PC Cards
You can remove PC Cards while the computer is on or off. PC Cards draw power
from the computer when they are inserted into the PC Card slot, whether or not
you use the card.
If you are not using your PC Card and you are using a battery as a power source,
remove the PC Card from the PC Card slot to conserve battery power.
To remove a PC Card while your computer is on
1 Double-click the Safely Remove Hardware icon on the taskbar. The
Safely Remove Hardware dialog box appears.
2 Click to select the PC Card in the Hardware devices window, if it is not
already selected.
3 Click Stop. The Stop a Hardware device window appears.
Do not force a PC Card into the slot. It may damage the connector pins.
When a PC Card is inserted, do not place your computer in a bag or case.
Pressure or shock to a PC Card may damage your computer.
Touching the head of the PC Card will not damage the connector pins, but
damage may occur if the head of the PC Card is sticking out of the PC Card
slot while the computer is being transported.
