SD memory card
SD cards let you easily transfer data from devices, such as digital cameras
and Personal Digital Assistants, that use SD card flash-memory. The cards
have a high level of security and copy protection features.
Formatting an SD card
SD memory cards are sold already formatted in conformity to specific
standards. If you format the SD card again, be sure to format it with the
TOSHIBA SD memory card format utility, not with the format commands
provided within Windows.
In order to run TOSHIBA SD memory card format, click start, point to All
Programs, point to TOSHIBA, point to Utilities and click SD memory card
Format.
The TOSHIBA SD memory card format utility does not format the protected
area of the SD memory card. Should you need to format all areas of the
memory card, including the protected area, you will need to obtain an
appropriate application that applies the copy protection system.
SDIO card
Add the Bluetooth™ wireless communication function to a computer with
the SDIO card.
Memory Stick/Memory Stick Pro
The computer is equipped with a Bridge media slot that can accommodate
Memory Stick/Memory Stick Pro flash memory cards with various memory
capacities. Memory Stick let you easily transfer data from devices, such as
digital cameras and Personal Digital Assistants, that use Memory Stick
technology.
■ Make sure the Bridge media slot indicator is out before you remove
the SD card or turn off the computer’s power. If you remove the SD
card or turn off the power while the computer is accessing the SD card
you may lose data or damage the card.
■ Do not remove an SD card while the computer is in Standby or
Hibernation mode. The computer could become unstable or data in the
SD card could be lost.
SD memory cards comply with SDMI (Secure Digital Music Initiative),
which is a technology adopted to prevent unlawful copy or playback of
digital music. For this reason, you cannot copy or playback protected
material on another computer or other device. You may not use the
reproduction of any copyrighted material except for your personal
enjoyment.
Keep foreign objects out of the Bridge media slot. Never allow metal
objects, such as screws, staples and paper clips, to enter the PC or
keyboard. Foreign metal objects can create a short circuit, which can
cause PC damage and fire, possibly resulting in serious injury.
