NI CompactFlash Device Installation
Caution Follow proper ESD precautions to ensure you are grounded before installing the
hardware.
The NI CompactFlash device supports hot insertion on a PDA device,
which means you can install and remove the NI CompactFlash device
without rebooting the PDA device. You can install an NI CompactFlash
device in any available Type II CompactFlash slot.
To install the NI CompactFlash device, refer to the following figure while
completing the following steps.
1. NI CompactFlash devices have two connectors: a 50-pin
CompactFlash bus connector on one end, and an I/O connector on the
other. The NI CompactFlash device is keyed so that you can insert it
only one way. Insert the NI CompactFlash device in the slot until the
connector is firmly seated.
Caution Always grasp the device by the connectors you are inserting or removing.
Never pull directly on the I/O to unplug it from the NI CompactFlash device.
