Removing PC Cards
See your PC Card manual for specific instructions on removing your card. Some cards may require
your notebook to be in Standby Mode or Off during removal.
1 Unlock the card from the slot by pressing the eject button associated with the slot in which the card is located.
When pressed, the button will pop out.
2 Firmly press the button again until it is flush with the notebook. This will eject the card slightly out of the slot
allowing you to remove the card.
• WINDOWS HAS A SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE FOR PC CARDS THAT MUST BE FOLLOWED BEFORE REMOVING A
CARD. (REVIEW YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM MANUAL FOR THE CORRECT PROCEDURE.) IT IS GOOD PRACTICE TO
REMOVE DEVICES USING THE SAFELY REMOVE HARDWARE ICON IN THE SYSTEM TRAY.
• IF THE DIALOG BOX STATES THAT THE DEVICE CANNOT BE REMOVED, YOU MUST SAVE ALL OF YOUR OPEN FILES,
CLOSE ANY OPEN APPLICATIONS AND SHUT DOWN YOUR NOTEBOOK.
IF THE PC CARD HAS AN EXTERNAL CONNECTOR AND CABLE, DO NOT PULL THE CABLE WHEN
REMOVING THE CARD.
