✍Do not force a card into the slot as this may damage the connector pins. If you have difficulty inserting a card, check that you are inserting the card with the correct orientation. See the manual that came with your PC card for more information on use.

For some PC cards, if you alternate between normal power operation and the System Suspend or System Hibernation power-management modes while the card is inserted, you may find that a device connected to your system is not recognized. Reboot your system to correct the problem.
