Table Note: *A standard 34-pin floppy cable has a twist in the cable wiring between the Floppy A and B connectors, where Floppy B has the straight through cable (non-twist) and is the middle connector. Due to the ReadyBoard 700’s internal configuration and the cable supplied, there is only one physical connector available (the Floppy B connector, because the Floppy A connector is not available).

NOTE

Ampro does not recommend connecting a USB boot device to the

 

ReadyBoard 700 through an external hub. Instead, connect the USB

 

boot device directly to the ReadyBoard 700.

 

Any USB (block) device that emulates a hard disk drive can be used

 

when [USB HDD] is set as the drive option. This includes various

 

storage media types, such as USB hard disk drives, USB CD-ROMs,

 

CompactFlash cards, and Flash or Thumb drives. Refer also to

 

Boot Order settings, USB Boot Support under Advanced features,

 

and USB (device enable) under On-Board Controllers for USB Drive

 

boot order, USB Boot Enable, and the number of USB ports enabled,

 

respectively.

The [Alarm] option sounds beeps on the PC speaker and can be

 

listed, like [Reboot], as the last boot device to indicate no bootable

 

device was not found.

 

Any of the drives can be listed as a boot drive.
