Installing or removing a PC Card during
your LifeBook notebook’s shutdown or
bootup process may damage the card
and/or your notebook.
■
Do not insert a PC Card into a slot if
there is water or any other substance on
the card as you may permanently dam-
age the card, your LifeBook notebook,
or both.
■
Be sure to orient the card properly
before inserting it. Failure to do so could
result in damage to the card socket.
Windows has a shutdown procedure for
PC Cards that must be followed before
removing a card. (Please review your oper-
ating system manual for the correct proce-
dure). Before removing a PC Card in
Windows 2000 Professional, shut down
PC Card operation using the Unplug/Eject
Hardware icon located on the taskbar.
If the dialog box states that the device
cannot be removed, you must save all of
your open files, close any open applica-
tions and shut down your notebook.
If the PC Card has an external connector
and cable, do not pull the cable when
removing the card.
