Remove the PC Card and store it properly.

Hot swapping

One of the great things about PC Cards is that you can
replace one PC Card with another while the computer is on.
This is called “hot swapping.”

Hot swapping precautions

Although you can insert a PC Card at any time, to avoid data
loss never remove a card while it is in use. For example:

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

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

Before removing a PC Card, stop it by clicking the Safely
Remove Hardware
icon on the System tray. Once the PC Card
has stopped, you can safely remove it. See

“Removing PC

Cards” on page 181
