Inserting a P2 Card
When inserting a P2 card into the slot in the P2 drive, make sure you keep the card horizontal as you ease it in.
Forcing the card in on an angle may cause a problem.
Write-protection of P2 Card
A P2 card has a write-protect switch. Setting this
switch to “PROTECT” can prevent writing and deleting of data. Note: The write-protect switch is not effective when the P2 card is inserted in the P2 drive.
Make sure you remove the P2 card from the P2 drive, set the switch, then re-insert the card, in
order to effect the switch setting.
PROTECT 
Setting the writeprotect switch to “PROTECT” can prevent writing and deleting of data.
Setting the writeprotect switch to this side allows writing and deleting of data.
