Hot swapping PC Cards 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." DEFINITION: Hot swapping is the ability to change PC Cards while the computer is on. Hot swapping precautions Although you can insert a PC Card at any time, remember not to remove a card while it is in use. Otherwise, you could lose valuable information. For example: ❖ Never remove a hard disk card or CD-ROM drive card while the system is accessing the card. ❖ Never remove a network card while you are connected to the network. ❖ Never remove a SCSI card while any of the SCSI devices connected to it are operating. DEFINITION: SCSI is an acronym for Small Computer Systems Interface. A single SCSI PC Card enables you to connect several SCSI devices to your computer at the same time. Before removing a PC Card, stop it by clicking the PC Card (PCMCIA) icon on the taskbar.
