Installing and Removing a Flash Memory Card
Installing and Removing a Flash Memory Card
The I/O controller has two PCMCIA slots: Slot 0 (lower) and Slot 1 (upper). (See Figure 22) To
install a Flash memory card in either PCMCIA slot, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Connect an ESD-preventive strap between you and an unpainted chassis surface.
Step 2 Orient the Flash memory card so that its connector end faces the appropriate slot (refer to
Figure 22a).
Step 3 Carefully guide the card into the slot until it mates with the slot’s connector and the eject
button for the slot pops out toward you (See Figure 22b).
Note Flash memory cards do not insert all the way into the PCMCIA slots on the I/O controller;
the end of the card protrudes from the I/O controller faceplate. Do not attempt to force the card past
this point.
To remove a Flash memory card from either PCMCIA slot, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Press the ejector button on the slot. (See Figure 22c).
Step 2 Grasp the card and pull it from the slot.
Step 3 Place the card in an antistatic bag.
