Important The Apple AirPort Card is installed in a slot inside your computer. It does not go in the PC Card slot the way many third-party wireless cards do. The AirPort Card will not work if it is installed in the PC Card slot and will cause your computer to function improperly.

Inserting and Ejecting a PC Card

When inserting a PC Card, make sure the label is facing up and the card is level. You’ll feel some resistance as you slide the card in. When the card is firmly seated in the slot, it clicks into place and an icon appears on the desktop. You can eject a PC Card when your computer is on or off, but not when it is in sleep.

To eject a PC Card:

1If the computer is turned on, drag the card’s icon to the Trash.

2Push the PC Card eject button once to release the button.

3Push the button again to eject the card.

4Pull the card out of the slot and then push the eject button again to set it flush against the computer.
