The PC-Card ejectors have a ballpoint pen mechanism. Before you insert the card
ensure that the ejector is engaged. To remove the PC-Card, push the ejector once
to unlock it and a second time to eject the card.
Caution
When you plug in the PC-Card, the Label must be on top.
Remove the card only after all data traffic has terminated (risk of data loss and
system failure).
You might damage the SIMATIC Field PG P4 and the PC-Card if you attempt to
insert the card the wrong way round.
Always discharge your body's charge of static electricity by briefly touching a
grounded part of the device (e.g. the metal mount of the port) before inserting or
removing a card (in accordance with the instructions for handling electrostatically-
sensitive components, EGB guidelines). Otherwise, disruptions might occur.
Notice
In order to use a PC card you must enter BIOS-SETUP, open the Main menu,
select the Hardware Option submenu and set "Cardbus/PCMCIA Slot" to
"Enabled".
