CompactFlash cards are designed with flash technology, a non-volatile storage solution that can retain data indefinitely without a battery. The cards are solid state, meaning they contain no moving parts, and provide much greater protection of data than conventional magnetic disk drives.

The D400 contains two CompactFlash cards on the main board to store software and data:

•System CompactFlash card located at connector P2 stores system firmware

•User CompactFlash card located at connector P1 is accessible from the front panel and stores system data such as event logs
