Using the memory card reader

NOTE: CompactFlash and Microdrive are keyed and cannot be inserted incorrectly. Insert the receptacle edge (holes) of this media into the slot.

For the two-slot reader, the Secure Digital (SD) card, the MultiMediaCard (MMC), and the Memory Stick (MS or MS-Pro) cards must be inserted upside down (gold connector fingers facing up). Note the direction of the notched corner on the media.

1Insert the media into the card slot until it stops. The activity light (A) on the memory card reader lights, and the PC automatically detects the media.

2The PC opens a window so you can use the media contents. You can copy files from or to the media.

3When you are finished, right-click the drive icon, select Eject, check that the activity light is on but not blinking, and then remove the media. A steady activity light indicates that the PC is not reading or writing the media.
