Media Memory Card Blanks
Your computer shipped with a plastic blank installed in the 5-in-1 media memory card slot.
Blanks protect unused slots from dust and other particles. Save the blank for use when no card is
installed in the slot; blanks from other computers may not fit your computer.
To remove the blank, see "Removing a Media Memory Card or Blank" on page 72.
Installing a Media Memory Card
You can install a media memory card in the computer while the computer is running. The
computer automatically detects the card.
Media 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.
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the
