Installation

3.3.1.4Removal Procedure

1.Turn off CPU power.

2.Press ejector pin. The ejector pin loosens the CompactFlash disk from the socket.

3.Remove CompactFlash disk from Intel MPRTM4808 board.

4.Turn on CPU power.

3.3.2Floppy Disk Drive

Note: The board is not hot-swappable if a floppy disk drive is connected to the Intel MPRTM4808 board.

The floppy disk drive connector is a 34-pin 2.54-mm pin-pitch connector. The following connector pinout shows how the pins are assigned.
