Secure Digital Card
Your LifeBook notebook supports Secure Digital (SD)
cards, on which you can store and transfer data to and
from a variety of digital devices. These cards use flash
memory architecture, which means they don’t need a
power source to retain data.
SD flash memory technology allows you to record,
transfer and share digital content, such as digital pictures,
movies, music, voice, and computer data and applica-
tions. SD Cards allow portable storage among a variety of
devices, such as cell phones, GPS systems, digital
cameras, and PDAs. SD Cards transfer data quickly, with
low battery consumption. Like the memory stick, it uses
flash memory architecture.
INSERTING SD CARDS
SD Cards are inserted in the SD Card slot (Figure 4-6). To
insert an SD Card, follow these steps:
1. See your SD Card manual for instructions on the
insertion of your card. Some cards may require that
your notebook is off while inserting them.
2. Make sure there is no card currently in the slot. If
there is, see Removing an SD Card.
3. Insert your SD 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 AN SD CARD
To remove an SD Card, follow these easy steps:
1. See your SD Card manual for instructions on the
removal of your card. Some cards may require your
LifeBook notebook to be in Suspend Mode or Off
while removing them.

the SD Card slot.
