36 Chapter 3 Using Your Computer
PC Cards
You can expand your computer’s capabilities using the PC Card slot. You can connect
hard drives, compact Flash card readers, and more. Your PowerBook has one PC Card
slot that accepts Type I and Type II PCMCIA cards, including CardBus-format cards. You
can insert a PC Card when your computer is on, off, or in sleep.
Important: The Apple AirPort Extreme Card is installed in a slot inside the computer.
It doesn’t go in the PC Card slot the way many third-party wireless cards do. The AirPort
Extreme Card will not work if it is installed in the PC Card slot and will cause your
computer to function improperly.
Inserting and Ejecting a PC Card
When inserting a PC Card, make sure the label is facing up and the card is level. You’ll
feel some resistance as you slide the card in. When the card is firmly seated in the slot,
it clicks into place and an icon may appear on the desktop. You can eject a PC Card
when your computer is on or off, but not when it is in sleep.
To eject a PC Card:
1 If the computer is turned on, drag the card’s icon to the Trash.
2 Push the PC Card Eject button once to release the button.
3 Push the button again to eject the card.
4 Pull the card out of the slot and then push the Eject button again to set it flush against
the computer.
