Using the Memory Card Reader

The memory card reader provides a fast and convenient way to view and share digital photos, music, and videos stored on a memory card.

NOTE: A memory card is not a bootable device.

The 8-in-1 memory card reader reads the following memory cards:

•Secure Digital (SD)

•Secure Digital Input/Output (SDIO)

•MultiMediaCard (MMC)

•Memory Stick

•Memory Stick PRO

•xD-Picture Card

•Hi Speed-SD

•Hi Density-SD

Memory Card Blanks

Your computer shipped with a plastic blank installed in the memory card reader. Blanks protect unused slots from dust and other particles. Save the blank for use when no media memory card is installed in the slot; blanks from other computers may not fit your computer.

Remove the blank before installing a media memory card. To remove the blank, see "Removing a Memory Card or Blank" on page 98.

Installing a Memory Card

You can install a media 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.
