Hot swapping PC Cards
One of the great things about PC Cards is that you can
replace one PC Card with another while the computer is on.
This is called “hot swapping.
”
DEFINITION: Hot swapping is the ability to change PC Cards while
the computer is on.
Hot swapping precautions
Although you can insert a PC Card at any time, remember not
to remove a card while it is in use. Otherwise, you could lose
valuable information.
For example:
❖ Never remove a hard disk card or CD-ROM drive card
while the system is accessing the card.
❖ Never remove a network card while you are connected to
the network.
❖ Never remove a SCSI card while any of the SCSI devices
connected to it are operating.
DEFINITION: SCSI is an acronym for Small Computer Systems
Interface. A single SCSI PC Card enables you to connect several
SCSI devices to your computer at the same time.
Before removing a PC Card, stop it by clicking the PC Card
(PCMCIA) icon on the taskbar.
