Surface Pro 2 Sd Slot Average ratng: 8,2/10 4320 votes
I bought my first Surface a week ago, an i5 with 128 gig SSD, since the price for the one step larger is quite a bit higher. I figured it would finally be possible to use this as the single unit I wanted, with working (I work as a translator with video files as the source material), reading comicbooks (the 3:2 screen is perfect for that, it beats the cr@p out of the popular, but rather stupid 16:9 format) and general surfing and reading. Until now I've had a few units, amongst them som Android tablets and convertibles.
For storage I will be using the 2 TB drive from my previous working pc, a Dell Presicion M6500 17' monster, as a data disk connected by USB to the server in my house. In working hours the Surface will be hooked up to the new Surface docking, with two monitors, wired network and other niceties. I have also bought a 128 gig Micro SD card, and since I am a bit anal when it comes to backups I wanted to put that to double use. Because I do not take image backups from within Windows. Never. Don't trust them. So I took a 500 meg part of it for a Windows PE setup based on 8.1 ADK and used Acronis True Image to make the PE. No dice. No way to get the thing to boot from it. I have been using a smallish USB stick for this so far (I think it's 16 gig, or something like that), and I have been able to boot, but not without problems. It has to be plugged into the USB port on the side of the unit itself to boot. Not one of the ports in the Surface Docking, and not through an USB hub. That just doesn't work, the unit doesn't see it.
Can anybody tell me if I'm doing something wrong, or if it's simply impossible to boot from a card? I had the idea that the card reader probably was a part of the USB setup, but I may be wrong. It's so hard to see what's going on when I don't see any POST messages, as I'm used to (yeah, I'm old - been in computers since the Commodore 64, with almost all generations of Intel and AMD processors behind me in some computer or other).

In contrast, the Surface Book SD reader is rated at UHS-II. BTW, I originally found the SP data sheet from a link posted on Reddit showing the SB data sheet. I went to that link and backtracked to find the SP data sheet.

Microsoft's Surface Book 2 is a powerful laptop with a modular design, a touch display available in two sizes, and a high price. One way to save a bit of money at checkout is to dial back the size.

Get a cellular data connection on your Surface Duo, Surface Pro X, Surface Pro (5th Gen) with LTE Advanced, or Surface Go with LTE Advanced. You'll need a nano SIM from your mobile carrier before you get started.

Before you start

Your Surface comes with a SIM ejector tool. To find it, look for an instruction card in the box your Surface was packaged in. You’ll need this tool to place a SIM card in your Surface.

Surface Duo

  1. Do one of the following on your Surface Duo, depending on if the Surface Duo Bumper is on or off:

    • If the bumper is off (recommended), locate the SIM card tray near the bottom-right corner.

    • If the bumper is attached, near the bottom-right corner, take the SIM ejector tool and use it to lift the small silicone tab up.

  2. Insert the SIM ejector tool into the small hole and gently press in to eject the SIM card tray.

  3. Remove the SIM card tray from the slot. Keep it face up.
    Note: If the bumper is attached, the SIM card tray may not come all the way out. If this occurs, slightly insert the SIM ejector tool back into the hole for the SIM card tray, and then gently angle the tool and pull the tray all the way out. You might be able to grab the longer end of the SIM tray with your fingernails to remove it.

  4. Place the nano SIM card face up in the SIM card tray. Make sure the small notch in the corner of the SIM card matches the one in the SIM card tray so that it fits properly. The words or logo on the SIM card should be facing up.

  5. Slide the SIM card tray back into the SIM card slot until it clicks. The small hole in the SIM card tray should be closest to the bottom-right corner. Make sure the SIM card tray slides in smoothly—don't force it.

After you insert your SIM card, you’ll be ready to set up your mobile data connection on your Surface Duo.

Surface Pro X

  1. Place your Surface Pro X screen on a table and lift the kickstand to reveal the SIM door.

  2. Insert the included SIM ejector tool into the small hole on the SIM door to detach it.

  3. Push your SIM card into the SIM card slot until it clicks.

  4. Slide the SIM door into place, then press down until it clicks. Slide the SIM door into place, then press down until it clicks.

Surface Pro (5th Gen) with LTE Advanced

  1. With your Surface Pro (5th Gen) with LTE Advanced facing down, gently pull out the kickstand. The kickstand has the Microsoft logo on the back.

  2. Locate your SIM card tray near the bottom-right corner and under the kickstand of your Surface Pro (5th Gen) with LTE Advanced.

  3. Insert the SIM ejector tool into the small hole and gently press in to eject the SIM card tray. When you’re done, slide the SIM ejector tool back into the instruction card so you can find it again later.

  4. Remove the SIM card tray from the slot. When you remove it, keep it face-up.

  5. Place the SIM card face up in the SIM card tray. Make sure the small notch in the corner of the SIM card matches the one in the SIM card tray so that it fits properly. The words or logo on the SIM card should be facing up.

  6. Slide the SIM card tray back into the SIM card slot until it clicks. The small hole in the SIM card tray should be closest to the bottom-right corner. Make sure the SIM card tray slides in smoothly—don't force it.

  3. Remove the SIM card tray from the slot. When you remove it, keep it face up.

  4. Place the SIM card in the SIM card tray. Make sure that the notches on the SIM card and the tray line up. The words or logo on the SIM card should be facing up.

  5. Slide the SIM card tray back into the SIM card slot until it clicks. Don't force it in – the SIM card tray should slide in smoothly.
