PC Cards can sometimes become hot during computer operation. Before
you remove a PC Card always wait for it to cool. You could get burned
removing a hot PC Card.
Some models are equipped with either a PC Card slot or a ExpressCard
slot.
Do not insert a PC Card while the computer is in Sleep Mode or
Hibernation Mode as you may find that some cards do not work properly.
