Using the Memory Card Reader
The memory card reader provides a fast and convenient way to view and share
digital photos, music, and videos stored on a memory card.
NOTE:
A memory card is not a bootable device.
The 8-in-1 memory card reader reads the following memory cards:
• Secure Digital (SD)
• Secure Digital Input/Output (SDIO)
• MultiMediaCard (MMC)
• Memory Stick
• Memory Stick PRO
• xD-Picture Card
• Hi Speed-SD
• Hi Density-SD
Memory Card Blanks
Your computer shipped with a plastic blank installed in the memory card
reader. Blanks protect unused slots from dust and other particles. Save the
blank for use when no media memory card is installed in the slot; blanks from
other computers may not fit your computer.
Remove the blank before installing a media memory card. To remove the
blank, see "Removing a Memory Card or Blank" on page 98.
Installing a Memory Card
You can install a media memory card in the computer while the computer is
running. The computer automatically detects the card.
Memory cards are generally marked with a symbol (such as a triangle or an
arrow) or a label to indicate which end to insert into the slot. The cards are
keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. If card orientation is not clear, see the
documentation that came with the card.
