In Win 95/98/2000/ME operating systems, you do not have to power down the notebook to remove the card. The card is hot-swappable—you can remove the card when the notebook is powered on. However, Microsoft recommends that you stop the card. Refer to your Windows 95/98/2000/ME online help for information on stopping the LevelOne 10/100Mbps 32bit Fast Ethernet PC Card.

Most notebooks have an eject lever or button for ejecting PC cards from the PC slots. Consult your notebook’s user’s manual for details.

Warning!

To prevent data loss, do not eject the LevelOne 10/100Mbps 32bit Fast Ethernet PC Card when a data transmission is taking place. Exit your communications program normally, stop the card if necessary, and then remove the card.

This concludes Chapter 2. The next chapter covers driver installation for Windows 2000/98/95/NT/ME operating systems.
