CHAPTER 4: Using Drives and Accessories

Removing a memory card

Important

Do not use the remove hardware icon in the taskbar to remove the memory card. If you use the remove hardware icon, your notebook may not recognize your memory card reader until you restart your notebook.

To remove a memory card:

1Push the memory card into the notebook. The memory card pops out slightly.

2Pull the memory card out of the notebook.

Adding and removing a

PC Card

Your notebook has a PC Card slot (also known as a PCMCIA card slot). This slot accepts one Type II card. You do not need to restart your notebook when changing most cards because your notebook supports hot-swapping. Hot-swapping means that you can insert a PC Card while your notebook is running. If your PC Card does not work after hot-swapping, see the PC Card manufacturer’s documentation for further information.

To insert a PC Card:

•Push the card firmly into the PC Card slot, label-side up, until the outer edge of the card is flush with the side of your notebook.
