Each PC Card slot is covered by a PC Card slot protector. These protectors prevent dust or other foreign materials from damaging the slots. Before using a PC Card in the PC Card slots, remove the slot protectors by following these steps: 1. Pull out the eject lever that corresponds to the top slot and open it out 90 degrees. (See "Inserting and Removing a PC Card" in this chapter for more on using the eject lever.) 2. Press the eject lever to eject the PC Card slot protector inserted in that slot. 3. Grasp the edges of the PC Card slot protector and slide it out of the slot. 4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for the bottom PC Card slot. Compaq recommends using slot protectors when PC Cards are not inserted because they prevent dust and other foreign materials from getting inside PC Card slots. To insert a PC Card, follow these steps: 1. With the 68-pin connector facing in and the label facing up, insert the PC Card into the PC Card slot. 2. Gently push the card into the slot until it is seated. When the PC Card is inserted, the PC Card eject lever pops out. 3. Pull out the eject lever slightly and rotate it back down to position it flush with computer. To stop a PC Card and remove it, follow these steps: 1. Click the PC Card icon on the taskbar. A list of PC Cards inserted in the computer appears. 2. Click the PC Card that you want to remove. Always use the stop procedure for LAN, ATA, or SCSI PC Cards before removing them.
