Memory Stick/
Secure Digital Cards
Your LifeBook notebook supports Memory Sticks and
Secure Digital (SD) cards, on which you can store and
transfer data to and from a variety of digital devices.
These cards use flash memory architecture, which means
they don’t need a power source to retain data.
Memory Stick is a flash memory technology that allows
you to record, transfer and share digital content, such as
digital pictures, movies, music, voice, and computer data
and applications.
Secure Digital (SD) Cards are very similar to Memory
Sticks. Like Memory Sticks, SD Cards allow portable
storage among a variety of devices, such as cell phones,
GPS systems, digital cameras, and PDAs. SD Cards
transfer data quickly, with low battery consumption. Like
the memory stick, it uses flash memory architecture.
INSTALLING MEMORY STICK/SD CARDS
Memory Stick and SD Cards are inserted in the Memory
Stick/SD Card slot
(Figure 4-5) . To insert a Memory Stick
or SD Card, follow these steps
:
1. See your specific card manual for instructions on the
insertion of your card. Some cards may require that
your notebook is off while inserting them.
2. Make sure there is no card currently in the slot. If
there is, see Removing a Memory Stick/SD Card.
3. Insert your card into the slot with the product label
facing up.
4. Push the card firmly into the slot until it is seated in
the connector.
REMOVING A MEMORY STICK/SD CARD
To remove a Memory Stick or SD Card, follow these easy
steps:

It will then eject from the slot for removal.
