Removing a Card or Blank
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in your Product Information Guide.
NOTICE: Click the icon in the taskbar to select a card and stop it from functioning before you remove it from the computer. If you do not stop the card in the configuration utility, you could lose data. Do not attempt to eject a card by pulling its cable, if one is attached.
Press the release latch and remove the card or blank. For some release latches, you must press the latch twice: once to pop the latch out, and then a second time to pop the card out.
Save a blank to use when no PC Card is installed in a slot. Blanks protect unused slots from dust and other particles.
