98 Learning the Basics Using PC Cards Using PC Cards TECHNICAL NOTE: For PCMCIA-compatible PC Cards, check the package to make sure they conform to the PCMCIA 2.1 standard (or later). Other cards may work with your computer, but are likely to be much more difficult to set up and use. For information on inserting or removing a PC Card, see "Inserting and removing PC Cards" on page 73. Hot swapping With PC Cards, 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. Otherwise, you could lose valuable information. For example: ❖ Do not remove a hard disk card while the system is accessing it. ❖ Do not remove a network card while you are connected to a network. ❖ Do not 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 PC Card (PCMCIA) icon on the task bar. After the PC Card is stopped, it is safe to remove.
