You may first need to remove the card slot protector before you can 
insert a card. 

Insert the ExpressCard.

When the card is almost all the way into the slot, push firmly 
but gently to ensure a firm connection with the computer. Do 
not force the card into position.

Prepare the card for removal by clicking on the Show hidden 
icons button  (

), if necessary, in the notification area and then 

selecting the Safely Remove Hardware icon.

Select 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 edges of the ExpressCard and slide it out of the slot.

❖ Save your work frequently.

Your work stays in the computer’s temporary memory until 
you save it to the internal storage drive. 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 internal storage drive at 
preset intervals. See your software documentation for details.
