INSTALLING PC CARDS

PC Cards are installed in the PC Card slot (Figure 4-8).

To install a PC Card, follow these steps:

1. See your PC Card manual for instructions on the

installation of your card. Some cards may require

that your notebook is off while installing them.

2. Make sure there is no PC Card currently in the slot.

If there is, see Removing PC Cards.

3. If the eject button is extended, press it until it clicks.

4. Insert the card into the slot with the label facing up.

5. Push the card firmly into the slot until it is seated in

the connector.

REMOVING PC CARDS

See your PC Card manual for specific instructions on

removing your card. Some cards may require your note-

book to be in Suspend Mode or Off during removal.

2. Unlock the card from the slot by pressing the eject

button. When pressed, the button will pop out.

3. Firmly press the button again until it is flush with

the notebook. This will eject the card slightly out of

the slot allowing you to remove the card.

You may be required to log on as an

Administrator or member of the

Administrator’s Group to complete this

procedure. If the computer is connected to

a network, network policy settings may

also prevent you from completing this

procedure.

■

Installing or removing a PC Card during

your LifeBook notebook’s shutdown or

bootup process may damage the card

and/or your LifeBook notebook.

■

Do not insert a PC Card into a slot if

there is water or any other substance on

the card as you may permanently

damage the card, the notebook, or both.

■

Windows has a shutdown procedure for

PC Cards that must be followed before

removing a card. (Review your operating

system manual for the correct proce-

dure.) It is good practice to remove

devices using the Unplug or Eject Hard-

ware icon in the system tray.

■

If the dialog box states that the device

cannot be removed, you must save all of

your open files, close any open applica-

tions and shut down your notebook.

If the PC Card has an external connector

and cable, do not pull the cable when

removing the card.
