Using ExpressCards

You can expand your computer’s capabilities using the ExpressCard/34 slot. You can

connect a TV tuner, flash memory cards, and more. Your MacBook Pro has one

ExpressCard/34 slot that accepts 34mm ExpressCards. You can insert an ExpressCard

when your computer is on, off, or in sleep.

Inserting and Ejecting an ExpressCard

When inserting an ExpressCard, make sure the label is facing up and the card is level.

You’ll feel some resistance as you slide in the card. When the card is firmly seated in the

slot, it clicks into place and an icon appears on the desktop. You can eject an

ExpressCard when your computer is on or off, but not when it is in sleep.

To eject an ExpressCard:

1

If the computer is turned on, drag the card’s icon to the Trash.

2

Push gently on the card to activate the spring, and then pull the card out of the slot.
