You’ll feel some resistance as you slide the card in. When the card is firmly
seated, you hear a click. Use a smooth motion but don’t move the card in too
slowly. (The computer may not recognize the card if you insert it very slowly.)

An icon for the PC Card appears on the desktop.

You are now ready to use the card.

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 the Power key (or any key on the keyboard except Caps

Lock or the trackpad button) to wake it.

2

Click the PC Card’s icon to select it.

3

Drag the card’s icon to the Trash.

In a few seconds the computer ejects the card partway.

4

Grasp the card and pull it out of the slot.

IMPORTANT

Do not pull on a PC card before it has been ejected out of the

slot. Forcing a PC Card out of the slot may damage your computer or card.
