Removing a Memory Card or Blank

Press the card into the slot to release it from the card reader. When it is partially ejected, remove the card.

Installing a Memory Card

You can install a 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.
1. Hold the card with the top side of the card facing up.
2. Slide the card into the slot until the card is completely seated in its connector.
If you encounter too much resistance, do not force the card. Check the card orientation and try again.
The computer recognizes the memory card and automatically loads the appropriate device driver. If the configuration program tells you to load the
manufacturer's drivers, use the media that came with the memory card, if applicable.
