PXD-3710/3710F main board and DB-3710L2 daughter board, so we
recommend that users have RAM installed professionally by ADLINK.
For applications requiring the memory other than the standard 128MB,
please contact a local ADLINK dealer for details.
3.3 HDD and CF Installation
The PXD-3710/3710F is equipped with a set of slim-type HDD mounting
brackets where a 2.5 inch IDE drive can be seated. A 20GB HDD is installed
by default. For applications requiring different HDDs, please contact a local
ADLINK dealer for details.
You may purchase off-the-shelf 2.5” HDDs. Due to space limitations and for
better ventilation consideration, low profile 2.5” HDD that is not thicker than
9.5mm is recommended.
3.3.1 HDD Installation
To change the HDD, please follow the procedures carefully:
1. Check the master/slave setting of the 2.5” ATA HDD
2. Screw the HDD to the drive-mounting brackets. Please note the
orientation of the HDD. The HDD’s pin #1 must match the location
of IDE connector pin #1
3. Install the HDD with the mounting bracket plate on the module of
the PXD-3710/3710F
4. Use four copper stand-off screws on the HDD and tighten the
HDD to the module
5. Connect the 44-pin HDD cable (44-pin) with the HDD. Check if pin
#1 of the IDE connector, cable and the HDD are paired correctly
3.3.2 CF Installation
The CompactFlash Card (or called CF storage card) is widely applied on
digital consumer devices like PDAs, Digital Cameras and MP3 players. The
CF has anti-shock and anti-vibration features, better environment tolerance,
low power consumption, small form factor, and higher reliability. Plus, it has
been also widely accepted in the industrial and embedded application field.
All models of the PXD-3710 modules have an internal CompactFlash socket
as well as an external socket. For installing in the internal CompactFlash
socket which can be used as HDD replacement, plug the CF card into the
socket, and simply pull it out to remove it. Note that the internal CF interface
is NOT hot swappable, and installation or removal should be done when the
system power is off. The external CF interface is hot swappable so users can
install or remove by examining the front panel.
