Hardware

CompactFlash Adapter (J23)

The board contains a Type I or II PC card socket, which allows for the insertion of a CompactFlash Card. The CompactFlash Card acts as a standard IDE Drive and is connected to the Secondary IDE bus. If a CompactFlash card is installed, it is the only device using the secondary IDE bus. A Jumper is used to select the Master/Slave mode. Refer to Table 2-5, Jumper Settings for more information.

CAUTION To prevent system hangs when using older CompactFlash cards, ensure your CompactFlash is compatible with UDMA 100 IDE hard disk drives. Consult your CompactFlash card vendor for UDMA 100 compatibility.
