Removing an RP PCMCIA Card

This section describes how to install a PCMCIA card in an RP or a DRP card PCMCIA slot. The figure, RP
Card PCMCIA Slot Door, shows you the location of the PCMCIA door in the RP card faceplate. (The PCMCIA
cards for the DRP are in a similar location.)

Prerequisites

Before performing this task, open the front (PLIM) side cosmetic doors (if installed).

Required Tools and Equipment

You need the following tools to perform this task:
• ESD-preventive strap
• Medium Phillips screwdriver

Steps

To remove the PCMCIA card, follow these steps:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash to one of the ESD connection
sockets on the chassis or a bare metal surface on the chassis.
2. Using the screwdriver, loosen the captive screw at the bottom of the PCMCIA slot door on the faceplate
of the card.
3. While lifting the hinged PCMCIA slot door up, press the release button for the card slot to disengage the
card from the card, and then carefully pull out the far left removable PCMCIA flash card.
4. Place the removed PCMCIA card on an antistatic mat, or immediately place it in an antistatic bag if you
plan to return it to the factory.
5. If the PCMCIA card slot is to remain empty, close the door to keep dust out, and tighten the captive screw
with the screwdriver. Otherwise, install the new PCMCIA card.
