indicators” on page 1.
2. Make sure that the card is correctly oriented:
• For the flash media card: The metal contacts are facing down and pointing toward the card slot.
• For smart card: The metal contacts are facing upward and pointing toward the card slot.
3. Press the card firmly into the card slot.
If the plug-and-play feature is not enabled, do the following:
