Setting up a PC Card for your computer
Some PC Cards are ready to use as soon as you install them.
Others, such as hard disk cards, network cards, and SCSI
adapters, may need to be set up to work with your computer.
To set up your PC Card, refer to the documentation that came
with the card or refer to your operating system manual or
online help.
Inserting an SD
™
card
MMC cards (multimedia cards) do not work in this slot.
Locate the SD card slot on the left side of the computer.
❖ To insert an SD
card, turn the card so that the connector
(metal area) faces down, then push the card in the slot
until it locks in place.
❖ If Windows
®
does not recognize an inserted SD
®
card,
remove and insert it again.
❖ To remove an SD
card, press the card inward to release it
and the card will pop out slightly.
❖ The green light on the front of the computer will glow
when the card is being accessed.
Do not touch the SD
connector. You could expose the storage
area to static electricity which can destroy data.
Do not remove an SD
card while data is being written or read.
Even when the message “copying...” in the windows
disappears, the computer may be writing to the computer and
your data could be destroyed. Wait for the SD
indicator light to
go out.
