Your computer has one media card reader slot.
The media card reader slot supports the following four types of cards:
• MultiMediaCard (MMC)
• Secure Digital eXtended-Capacity (SDXC) card
• Secure Digital (SD) card
• Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) card
Note: Your computer does not support the content protection for recordable media (CPRM) feature for
the SD card
Attention: While transferring data to or from a flash media card, such as an SD card, do not put your
computer into sleep or hibernation mode before the data transfer completes; otherwise, your data could
become damaged.
