- Using ExpressCards
2 Make sure there is no ExpressCard or ExpressCard plug currently in the slot. If there is, see Removing
ExpressCards.
3 If the eject button is extended, press it in until it clicks.
4 Insert your ExpressCard into the slot with the product label facing up. If you are inserting a 34 mm card, be sure
to align it with the left side of the slot when inserting it.
5 Push the card firmly into the slot until it is seated in the connector.
Removing ExpressCards
See your ExpressCard manual for specific instructions on removing your card. Some cards may require
your notebook to be in Standby Mode or Off during removal.
To remove an ExpressCard, unlock the card or card plug from the slot by pressing it in, then releasing it.
This will eject the card slightly out of the slot, allowing you to remove it.
• WINDOWS HAS A SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE FOR EXPRESSCARDS THAT MUST BE FOLLOWED BEFORE REMOVING
A CARD. (REVIEW YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM MANUAL FOR THE CORRECT PROCEDURE.) IT IS GOOD PRACTICE
TO REMOVE DEVICES USING THE SAFELY REMOVE HARDWARE ICON IN THE SYSTEM TRAY.
• IF THE DIALOG BOX STATES THAT THE DEVICE CANNOT BE REMOVED, YOU MUST SAVE ALL OF YOUR OPEN FILES,
CLOSE ANY OPEN APPLICATIONS AND SHUT DOWN YOUR NOTEBOOK.
