Using Digital Media Slot cards (select models only)

Optional digital cards provide secure data storage and convenient data sharing. These cards are often used with digital media–equipped cameras and PDAs as well as with other computers.

To determine the digital card formats that are supported on your computer, refer to the Getting Started guide.

Inserting a digital card

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the digital card connectors, use minimal force to insert a digital card.

1.Hold the card label-side up, with the connectors facing the computer.

2.Insert the card into the Digital Media Slot, and then press in on the card until it is firmly seated.
