Media Card Readers

NOTE: The media card reader is integrated into the system board on portable systems. If there is a hardware failure or the reader
malfunctions, replace the system board.
The media card reader expands the usefulness and functionality of portable systems, especially when used with other devices such as
digital cameras, portable MP3 players, and handheld devices. All these devices use a form of media card to store information. Media card
readers allows for easy transfer of data between these devices.
Several different types of media or memory cards are available today. Below is a list of the different types of cards that work in the media

UEFI BIOS

UEFI is an acronym for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface. The UEFI specification defines a new model for the interface between
personal computer operating systems and platform firmware. The interface consists of data tables that contain platform related
information, plus boot and runtime service calls that are available to the operating system and its loader. Together, these provide a standard
environment for booting an operating system and running pre-boot applications. One of the main differences between BIOS and UEFI is the
way applications are coded. Assembler was used if functions or applications had to be coded for the BIOS while a higher level language
code will be used to program the UEFI.
Dell UEFI BIOS implementation will supersede the existing two different sets of BIOS in the portables and desktop products into one single
UEFI BIOS moving forward.
Important Information
There is no difference in between the conventional BIOS and the UEFI BIOS unless the UEFI option is checked in the 'Boot List Option'
setting in the BIOS page. This will allow the user to create a UEFI boot option list manually without affecting the existing boot priority list.
