Removing a PC Card
Follow the steps below to remove the PC Card while your computer is on. If it is not removed properly, your
system may not work. If you want to remove a PC Card when your computer is off, skip steps 1 to 6.
To remove a PC Card, proceed as follows:
1 Double-click the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the taskbar.
The Safely Remove Hardware dialog box appears.
2 Select the hardware you want to unplug.
3 Click Stop.
4 In the Stop a Hardware Device dialog box, select the device and confirm that it can be safely removed
from the system.
5 Click OK.
You get the message that it is safe to remove the device.
6 Click Close.
7 Press the PC Card release button once so it is extended and ready for use.
8 Push the PC Card release button to eject the card.
9 Gently grasp the card and pull it out.
10 If the PC Card release button is still out, push it back in so you can close the front panel cover.
! As the Safely Remove Hardware window may show devices other than your PC Card, take care when selecting the device. Do not select, for
example, Lucent Win Modem, otherwise the system will ’remove’ the modem and your Internet connections may be lost.
✍ Before you remove the PC Card, close any applications that are using the PC Card. Otherwise, data may be lost.
