6.2 The i-Flash Memory Card

This card is a linear Flash memory device with special non-volatile

memory. The standard card supplied with the i-PORT is 4MB, but

optional upgrades are available for 8MB and 16MB of memory. The i-

Flash Card contains compressed binary image files used by the

operating system running on the Computer Board.

Note: The i-Flash Card is a custom linear memory card and cannot be

replaced by commercial ATA Flash Storage Cards.

6.3 The ATA Flash Storage Card

The i-PORT file system uses a Type II PC Card format ATA flash

storage card. The standard card provided with the i-PORT is 8MB, but

larger cards of 16MB or 32MB are supported. The ATA flash storage

card carries files for the operating system, among them the previously

programmed IP Address. If replacing this card an IP Address has to be

programmed in to the new card before the i-PORT can connect to a

network.

Note: The i-Flash card is programmed with a default IP Address. If the

ATA Flash Storage Card is replaced without programming in the new

address the default will be used, (see section

10 Installation and Wiring

Procedures

for IP Address programming instructions).

card. This can be any Type II PC Card with a Windows CE

first be removed. Disconnect the power, or remove the power

connection terminal block first.
