To remove a PC card

Do not force a card into the slot as this may damage the connector pins. If you have difficulty inserting a card, check that you are inserting the card with the correct orientation. See the manual that came with your PC card for more information on use.

For some PC cards, if you alternate between normal power operation and the System Suspend or System Hibernation power management modes while the card is inserted, you may find that a device connected to your system is not recognized. Restart your system to correct the problem.

When the computer is on, be sure to follow the steps below, otherwise the system may not activate properly. When the computer is off, skip steps 1 to 4.

1Click the Start button, point to Setup, and then click Control Panel.

2Double-click the PC card icon.

3Click the name of the PC card you want to remove from the list that displays, then click Stop.

4When the message “You can remove the PC card” appears in the display, click OK.

5Press the RELEASE button to remove the PC card.
