3.3 CF Installation
The CompactFlash Card (or called CF storage card) is widely applied in
digital consumer devices like PDA, Digital Camera and MP3 player.
Because of the CF anti-shock, anti-vibration, better environment tolerance,
low power consumption, small form factor and high reliability, it has been
widely accepted in mission critical embedded applications.
With the cPCI-6760DK/P5, the CF card is very easy to use; the CF card
socket is available on the DB-6760CF, which is a removable daughter board
that can be attached to the cPCI-6760DK/P5 by directly connecting the
daughter board to the on-board 44-pin IDE (CN2) connector. The
DB-6760CF is designed in exchange with the 2.5” ATA HDD on the IDE
interface. The DB-6760CF supports both type-I and type-II CompactFlash
storage device such as CF cards or IBM MicroDrive.
If user purchases the OEM model, non-standard, customized or special
configuration model, it may not come with the DB-6760CF in the package.
Users can purchase the CF card adaptor (by the model name: DB-6760CF)
as an optional kit to convert the IDE interface into a CF card socket. Since
the CF card adaptor utilizes the same IDE interface and the same space that
a 2.5” ATA HDD may occupy, users should remove then 2.5” ATA HDD (if
any) first before installing the CF card adaptor. Please refer to the section of
HDD installation for instructions on removing the 2.5” ATA HDD.
Note: To prevent the CF card from come loose during heavy vibrations,
there is a screw designed and located on the upper side of CF
card. (Please refer to the figure in section 3.3.1.). Remove the
protection screw before inserting or extracting the CF card. After
inserting or extracting the CF card, please mount and fix this
protection screw.
