PC Cards
You can expand your computer’s capabilities using the PC Card slot. 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.
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 appears 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.

Important The Apple AirPort Card is installed in a slot inside your computer. It does not go
in the PC Card slot the way many third-party wireless cards do. The AirPort Card will not work
if it is installed in the PC Card slot and will cause your computer to function improperly.
