For example:

❖Never remove a hard disk card while the system is accessing the card.

❖Never remove a network card while you are connected to the network.

❖Never remove a SCSI card while any of the SCSI devices connected to it are operating.

DEFINITION: SCSI is an acronym for Small Computer Systems Interface. A single SCSI PC Card enables you to connect several SCSI devices to your computer at the same time.

Before removing a PC Card, stop it by clicking the PC Card (PCMCIA) icon on the taskbar (see Removing a PC Card on page 128).

Using an expansion device

The expansion port allows you to connect your computer to an expansion device, which is an excellent investment if you’re using your computer both in and out of the office.

When you return to your desk, you probably want to connect to your network, print reports from your computer, or use a mouse instead of the AccuPoint II. Connecting cables for each of these devices every time you return to the office is time-consuming and inconvenient. With an expansion device, you can leave external devices connected while you are using your computer away from your desk. When you return, you can quickly connect your computer and have immediate access to all the devices.
