MMC/SD Card
Multimedia Card/
Secure Digital Media
Your LifeBook notebook supports Multimedia cards
(MMC) and 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.
MMC is a flash memory technology that allows you to
record, transfer and share digital content, such as digital
pictures, movies, music, voice, and computer data and
applications.
Secure Digital (SD) Cards are very similar to MMCs. Like
the MMC, 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.

INSTALLING MMC/SD CARDS

MMC and SD Cards are installed in the MMC/SD Card
slot (Figure 4-6). To install an MMC or SD Card, follow
these steps
:
■ Installing or removing an MMC or SD
Card during your LifeBook notebook's
shutdown or bootup process may dam-
age the card and/or your LifeBook note-
book.
■ Do not insert a card into a slot if there is
water or any other substance on the
card as you may permanently damage
the card, your LifeBook notebook, or
both.
