Inserting a SmartMedia or xD Card
If you plan on writing to or deleting from a SmartMedia card and the card’s write protection
sticker is covering the write protect area (see the illustration below), you must remove the
sticker.
To insert a SmartMedia Card or xD card, follow these steps:
1. Position the SmartMedia or xD card, as shown in the illustration below.
Note: The Digital Media HS Reader/Writer accepts only 3.3V SmartMedia cards. It
does not support 5V SmartMedia cards.
2. Insert the card in the Digital Media HS Reader/Writer’s slot with the gold contacts on
the right side facing inward and the card’s notch located at the bottom.
Caution: Be careful not to insert the SmartMedia or xD card in the wrong direction. Be
sure to insert the card with the gold contacts on the right side facing inward. If it is
forced in, the reader/writer or the card may be damaged, or data on the card may be
lost or corrupted. If the computer does not recognize the media, or if it does not fit
correctly, re-position the card and try reinserting it.
3. Gently push the card in all the way until it locks in place.
