Secure Digital Card Slot
Your LifeBook notebook supports Secure Digital (SD)
memory cards, on which you can store and transfer data
to and from a variety of digital devices such as cell
phones, GPS systems, digital cameras, and PDAs. These
cards use flash memory architecture, which means they
don’t need a power source to retain data. SD Cards
transfer data quickly, with low battery consumption.
Like the memory stick, it uses flash memory architec-
ture.
INSERTING SECURE DIGITAL CARDS
Secure Digital Cards are inserted in the SD Card slot
(Figure 4-1). To insert an SD Card, follow these steps:
1. See your SD Card manual for instructions on the
insertion of your card.
2. Make sure there is no card currently in the slot. If
there is, see Removing an SD Card.
3. Insert your card into the slot with the product label
facing up.
4. Push the card firmly into the slot until it is seated in
the connector.
REMOVING SECURE DIGITAL CARDS
To remove an SD Card, follow these easy steps:
Push the SD Card in until it unlatches. It will then eject
from the slot for removal.

Inserting or removing an SD Card during
your notebook’s shutdown or bootup
process may damage the card and/or
your notebook.

Do not insert a card into a slot if there is
water or any other substance on the

book, be sure to click the Safely Remove
Hardware icon in the notification area
and select the item you want to remove.
