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.
Important
D o not use the remove hardware icon in the taskbar to remove the
m emory card. If you use the remove hardware icon, your notebook may not
recognize your memory card reader until you restart your notebook.
