Hardware Installation
CompactFlash Socket
The system board is equipped with the CompactFlash
TM
socket for
inserting a CompactFlash
TM
card. CompactFlash
TM
card is a small
removable mass storage device designed with flash technology - a
non-volatile storage solution that does not require a battery to
retain data indefinitely. The CompactFlash
TM
technology is widely used
in products such as portable and desktop computers, digital
cameras, handheld data collection scanners, PDAs, Pocket PCs, handy
terminals and personal communicators.
CompactFlash
TM
and IDE 2
CompactFlash
TM
and IDE 2 share the same channel. The mode of
the hard drive connected to the IDE 2 connector must differ from
the one selected for CompactFlash
TM
. In other words, if
CompactFlash
TM
is set to Slave mode, then IDE 2’s hard drive must
be set to Master mode and vice versa. Under such circumstance,
IDE 2 only supports one hard drive. Refer to “CompactFlash Card
Setting” in this chapter for more information.
