Hot swapping
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.”
Hot swapping precautions
Although you can insert a PC Card at any time, to avoid data
loss never remove a card while it is in use. For example:
❖ Never remove a hard disk card while the system is
accessing it.
❖ Never remove a network card while you are connected to
a network.
Before removing a PC Card, stop it by clicking the Safely
Remove Hardware icon on the system tray. Once the PC
Card has stopped, you can safely remove it.
