Flash Memory Card Reader
Normally a memory card reader must be purchased separately in
order to use memory cards from devices such as digital cameras,
MP3 players, mobile phones, and PDAs. This Notebook PC has a
single built-in memory card reader that can use flash memory cards
as shown in the example below. The built-in memory card reader
is not only convenient, but also faster than most other forms of
memory card readers because it utilizes the internal high-bandwidth
PCI bus.
WARNING! To prevent data loss, use “Safely Remove Hardware
and Eject Media” in the Windows
notification area before removing
the flash memory card.
IMPORTANT! Flash memory card compatibility varies depending
on Notebook PC model and flash memory card specifications.
Flash memory card specifications constantly change so
compatibility may change without warning.
IMPORTANT! Never remove cards while or immediately after
reading, copying, formatting, or deleting data on the card or else
data loss may occur.
The actual location of the Flash Memory Slot differs by models.
Refer to the previous chapter to locate the Flash Memory Slot.
