Ejecting a PC Card

Your computer must be on or off in order to eject a PC Card. You cannot eject
a PC Card when the computer is in sleep.

IMPORTANT

Before you eject a card, make sure that nothing is blocking the

card’s slot. If you want to use the card again immediately, pull it out about an
inch more and then push it back in. (If you don’t follow this procedure and
you try to push the card back in to use it again, the card will not engage
properly.)

To eject a PC Card when the computer is on, follow these steps:

1

If the computer is in sleep, press any key on the keyboard (except Caps Lock) to wake it.

2

Click the PC Card’s icon to select it.

3

Drag the card’s icon to the Trash.

4

Pull the card the rest of the way out of the slot.

IMPORTANT

Do not force a PC Card out of the slot. Doing so may damage

your computer or PC Card.
