1. Turn over the OmniBook, release the two latches on the bottom of the slot tray, and pull out the tray. 2. Lift or push the plastic spacer out of the tray. (Save the spacer in case you remove the card later—it keeps dust and dirt from getting inside the case.) 3. Install the new card into the tray with its face up and its connector holes toward the metal tabs at the end of the tray. 4. Slide the tray fully into the slot and secure its latches. Read-Write Switch. For a data storage card, you typically want to be able to store or change data on the card.
If the card has a read-write switch (on the end of the card), make sure it is in its “read-write” position—usually away from the nearest corner of the card. If you want to protect the data from being changed, slide the write-protect switch to its “write-protect” or “read- only” position before you insert the card. A new data storage card (called a “disk”) may already be formatted and contain preloaded software—check its instructions. If you get errors when you try to use a new disk, you may have to format it—see “To format a data storage card” . For an I/O card, you may need to install special software or adjust settings— see “To set up an I/O card” .
To remove a PC card Caution Do not remove a disk while it’s actively reading or writing. If you remove a disk while it’s active, its data could become corrupted. Do not remove an I/O card while an application is open that's set up to use that card-exit the application first. If you remove the card, the application (or the OmniBook) might behave unpredictably or stop responding until you restart the OmniBook. 35
