Sample removing a PC Card
Hot swapping
One of the great things about PC Cards is that you can
replace one PC Card with another while the computer is on.
This is called “hot swapping.”
Hot swapping precautions
Although you can insert a PC Card at any time, remember not
to remove a card while it is in use. If you remove a PC Card
while it is in use, you could lose valuable information.
For example:
❖ Never remove a hard disk card while the system is
accessing it.
❖ Never remove a network card while you are connected to
a network.
❖ Never remove a SCSI card while any of the SCSI devices
connected to it are operating.
Before removing a PC Card, stop it by clicking the Safely
Remove Hardware icon in the system tray.

Computing tips
❖ Save your work frequently.
Your work stays in the computer’s temporary memory until
you save it to the disk. If the network you are using goes down
and you must restart your computer to reconnect, or if your
battery runs out of charge while you are working, you will
lose all work since you last saved.
