Using SD Cards

The SD card slot on the back of your Mac mini accepts most standard SD (Secure Digital), SDHC (SD High-Capacity), and SDXC (SD Extended Capacity) cards from digital cameras and other devices. You can also use MiniSD, MicroSD, and other smaller cards in a passive adapter. For more information about card sizes, speeds, and capacities, search for “SD” on the Apple Support website at www.apple.com/support.

To insert an SD card:

mm Hold the card with the metal contacts facing down and toward the computer, and slide the card into the slot.

NOTICE:  Don’t try to insert any card that exceeds standard SD card dimensions, and don’t force any SD card into the slot. Doing so could damage your Mac mini.
