Inserting and removing an Express Card
Your notebook has a Express Card slot. This slot accepts one Type 54 Express
Card. You do not need to restart your notebook when changing most cards
because your notebook supports hot-swapping. Hot-swapping means that you
can insert an Express Card while your notebook is running. If your Express Card
does not work after hot-swapping, see the Express Card manufacturer’s
documentation for further information.
To insert an Express Card:
■ Push the card firmly into the Express Card slot, label-side up, until the outer
edge of the card is flush with the side of your notebook.
To remove an Express Card:
Important
If the remove hardware icon does not
appear on the taskbar, click the show
hidden icons button.
1 Click the remove hardware icon in the taskbar, the Express Card name,
then click Stop.
-OR-
Turn off your notebook.
2 Pull the Express Card out of your notebook.
