Hardware Installation
Inserting the PC-Card into your laptop is very easy, simply slide the card
into the slot and press firmly to fully seat it. Removal is also easy, many
laptops have a release button that is spring loaded, that you need to
press in to unlock the button, and then press in again to eject the card.
Some older laptops have a spring loaded automatic mechanism that will
release the card when ejected from your machine (in the OS).
Make sure that you have dismounted any FireWire devices properly before removing the card. Your OS instruction manual or peripheral instruction manual will have more information about this procedure.
