Prepare the ExpressCard

®

 for removal by clicking the Safely 

Remove Hardware icon in the Notification Area and then 
selecting the card or device you want to remove. 

If the system is unable to prepare the card for safe removal, a 
message will tell you to try again later. If the card can be 
removed now, the system displays Safe to Remove Hardware.

Gently press the ExpressCard inward to release it.

The ExpressCard pops out slightly.

Grasp the ExpressCard and pull it straight out.

❖ Save your work frequently.

Your work stays in the computer’s temporary memory until 
you save it to the disk. If the network you are using goes down 
and you must restart your computer to reconnect, or your 
battery runs out of charge while you are working, you will lose 
all work since you last saved.

HINT: Some programs have an automatic save feature that can be 
activated. This feature saves your file to the hard disk at preset 
intervals. See your software documentation for details.

❖ Back up your files to disks (or other removable media) on a 

regular basis. Label the backup copies clearly and store them in 
a safe place.

❖ Scan all new files for viruses.
❖ Do not turn off the computer if a drive indicator light indicates 

a drive is active.

The Windows

®

 operating system records information, such as your 

desktop setup, during its shutdown procedure. If you do not let the 
Windows

®

 operating system shut down normally, details such as new 

icon positions may be lost.
