Installing a media card or a smart card
Attention: Before you start installing a card, touch a metal table or a grounded metal object. This action
reduces any static electricity from your body. Static electricity could damage the card.
To install the card, do the following:
1. Locate the appropriate type of slot for your card. See "Computer controls, connectors, and indicators"
on page 1.
2. Ensure that the card is correctly oriented:
• For the media card: The metal contacts are facing down and pointing toward the card slot.
• For the smart card: The metal contacts are facing upward and pointing toward the card slot.
3. Press the card firmly into the card slot.
If the plug-and-play feature is not enabled for the installed media card or smart card, do the following to
enable the feature:
1. Go to Control Panel.
2. View Control Panel by Category. Click Hardware and Sound.
3. Click Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the
password or provide confirmation.
4. From the Action menu, select Add legacy hardware. The Add Hardware Wizard starts.
5. Follow the instructions on the screen.
Removing a media card or a smart card
Attention:
• Before removing a card, stop the card first. Otherwise, data on the card might get corrupted or lost.
• While transferring data to or from a media card or a smart card, do not put your computer into sleep or
hibernation mode before the data transfer is completed; otherwise, your data might get damaged.
• Do not remove a card while the computer is in sleep mode or hibernation mode. Otherwise, the system
might not respond when you try to resume operation.
To remove a card, do the following:

Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media icon.

3. Press the card to eject it from your computer.
4. Remove the card and store it safely for future use.
