Using the Memory Card Reader

• Memory Stick
• Memory Stick PRO

Memory Card Blanks
Your computer shipped with a plastic blank installed in the memory card
reader. Blanks protect unused slots from dust and other particles. Save the
blank for use when no memory card is installed in the slot; blanks from other
computers may not fit your computer.
Remove the blank before installing a memory card. To remove the blank, see
"Removing a Memory Card or Blank" on page 82.
Installing a Memory Card
You can install a memory card in the computer while the computer is
running. The computer automatically detects the card.
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.
