Hardware icon in the Notification Area and then selecting the
card or device you want to remove.

message will tell you to try again later. If the card can be
removed now, the system displays Safe to Remove Hardware.

3 Press the PC Card eject button once to pop it out slightly, and
push it in to remove the PC Card.

Setting up a PC Card for your computer
Some PC Cards are ready to use as soon as you install them. Others,
such as hard disk cards, network cards, and SCSI adapters, may
need to be set up to work with your computer. To set up your PC
Card, refer to the documentation that came with the card or refer to
your operating system manual or online Help.
