Replacing Hardware Components

Note You can insert and remove the Flash memory card with the power on.

Before you install a card, verify that the Flash memory card is set with write protection off. The write-protect switch is located on the front edge of the card when oriented with the printing right side up and the edge connector end away from you. (See Figure 7-6.)

Flash PC card

Use the following procedure for installing and removing a Flash memory card:

Step 1 Face the front panel of the switch and hold the Flash memory card with the connector end of the card toward the slot. The connector end of the card is opposite the end with the write-protection switch, which is shown in Figure 7-6.

Step 2 Insert the card into the appropriate slot until the card completely seats in the connector at the back of the slot and the eject button pops out toward you. Note that the card does not insert all the way into the slot; a portion of the card remains outside the slot. Do not attempt to force the card past this point.

Step 3 To eject a card, press the appropriate ejector button until the card is free of the connector at the back of the slot.

Step 4 Remove the card from the slot and place it in an antistatic bag.
