Ejecting a PC Card
You can eject a PC Card when your computer is on or off. You cannot eject a PC Card when
the computer is in sleep.
To eject a PC Card when the computer is on, follow these steps:
1 If the computer is in sleep, press the Power button (®) to wake it.
2 Make sure that nothing is blocking the card slot.
3 Click the PC Card’s icon to select it.
4 Drag the card’s icon to the Trash to eject it from the card slot.
The card will partially eject from the card slot.
5 Pull the card out of the slot.
If you want to use the card again immediately, pull it out about an inch more, wait 10
seconds, and then push it back in.
You can also eject a PC Card by doing the following:
m Click the card’s icon to select it. Then choose Put Away from the File menu or Eject from
the Special menu. After the card is ejected, pull it out of the slot. (If a dimmed icon of the
card remains on the desktop, drag it to the Trash.)
m Press the eject button for the slot containing the PC Card you want to eject. If the card is
not in use, it will usually be ejected.
Warning Do not force a PC Card out of the slot. Doing so may damage your computer
or PC Card.

Cards won’t eject this way if the computer is on.
