68 Using Cards
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 Product
Information Guide.
To install a media memory card:
1
Hold the card with the top side of the card facing up.
2
Slide the card into the slot until the card is completely seated in its connector.
If you encounter too much resistance, do not force the card. Check the card orientation and try again.
The computer recognizes the media memory card and automatically loads the appropriate device driver.
If the configuration program tells you to load the manufacturer's drivers, use the CD that came with the
media memory card, if applicable.
Removing a Media Memory Card
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product
Information Guide.
NOTICE: Use the media memory card configuration utility (click the icon in the taskbar) to select a card and
stop it from functioning before you remove it from the computer. If you do not stop the card in the configuration
utility, you could lose data.
Press the card in to release it from the card reader so that it is partially ejected, and remove the card.
