Installation

If you have no specialist knowledge of installation procedures, arrange for the

installation to be carried out by a SPECIALIST or an appropriate specialist shop.

Incorrect installation can cause damage both to the adapter and to your computer

and all connected devices.

Caution: risk of fatal injury! Switch off the computer in which the adapter is to be

installed and all connected devices. Disconnect all devices from the mains supply by

pulling out the mains power plug. Switching off using the on/off switch is not enough.

• Open the housing of your computer and remove the cover carefully.

• On the adapter card, select the setting “Master” or “Slave” using the jumper.

If you want to load an operating system from the memory card plugged in the

adapter card you should select “Master” (depending on the used mainboard/BIOS).

• Connect the adapter card to a 40/80 or 44 pin connection cable that leads to an IDE controller.

44 pin connection cables are used in, for example, notebooks or special mini mainboards. Pin

1 is marked on the circuit board.

• If using a 40/80 pin at cable, connect a 3.5” power plug to the corresponding circuit board.

The power lines are already contained in a 44 pin at cable. Leave the 3.5” power connection

unoccupied.

• Mount the circuit board in the housing in such a way that it cannot cause a short circuit.

• Plug a CF memory card in the slot for the adapter card. It will only t in one way. Do not exert

any force.

• Close the housing of your computer.

• Reconnect your computer (and all other devices) to the mains power supply and switch it

on again.

• If your computer does not start correctly, switch it off immediately and check all settings and

cable connections.

Before opening the PC again, disconnect the PC from the mains power supply. See

above.

Installing drivers

No driver installation is necessary. With the adapter card, the CF memory card (or a CF hard

disk, e.g. Microdrive) functions like a common IDE/ATA hard disk.

Operation

• The CF card you plugged in can be partitioned, formatted and optionally provided with an

operating system, just like a hard disk.

• When using an appropriately large CF card, it is possible, for example, to install Windows XP.

• Please keep in mind that access time and also the speed of data transfer with CF cards (even

with faster versions) are much lower than with conventional hard disks.

• Never remove the memory card when the computer is switched on. The adapter card is not

a removable data storage drive. Firstly switch off the computer and disconnect it from the

mains power supply.

Disposal

Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be disposed of in the

household waste. At the end of its service life, dispose of the product according to

the relevant statutory regulations.

You thus full your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the
