Installing CompactFlash Cards
CompactFlash Cards are inserted in the CompactFlash Card slot. To insert a CompactFlash Card, follow these steps:
•
•
INSERTING OR REMOVING A COMPACTFLASH CARD DURING YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK’S SHUTDOWN OR BOOTUP PROCESS MAY DAMAGE THE CARD AND/OR YOUR NOTEBOOK.
DO NOT INSERT A COMPACTFLASH CARD INTO A SLOT IF THERE IS WATER OR ANY OTHER SUBSTANCE ON THE CARD AS YOU MAY PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE CARD, YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK, OR BOTH.
1 | See your CompactFlash Card manual for specific instructions |
|
| on the insertion of your card. Some Compact FlashCards may |
|
| require your notebook to be Off while inserting them. |
|
2 | When you receive your LifeBook, there will be a protective plug |
|
| inserted in the slot. Whenever you don’t have a CompactFlash |
|
| Card inserted, be sure to replace the plug to prevent system |
|
| contamination. To remove the plug, press the CompactFlash |
|
| Card eject button. (Figure 26) |
|
3 | When the CompactFlashSlot plug is ejected, remove it from the |
|
| slot. |
|
4 | Insert your Compactflash Card into the slot, with the product |
|
| label facing up. |
|
5 | Push the card into the slot firmly until it is seated in the opening. | Figure 26. Removing CF Slot plug |

You will hear a click and the Eject button will pop away from your notebook.
