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.
