Getting to know the Compact Flash Card
If you have not used a Compact Flash (CF) Card before, take a moment to
familiarize yourself with this device.
• A CF Card must be installed or the WS4 will not start. A POST error will
occur. See Chapter 4.
• The Workstation 4 currently ships with a 64M CF Card. Larger sizes can be
used, but please check the Approved CF Card List on the Hardware
Support section of the web site.
• Never remove or insert the CF card when AC power is connected. The
System Board and CF Daughter Card are not provisioned to support
‘hot-swapping’. Always remove the AC power cable from the workstation
before inserting or removing the CF card for any reason.
• The CF card is a keyed device - it can only be installed one way, but it is
possible to force the card into its socket upside down. A CF card installed
at the factory includes a label showing the correct orientation of the card as
you insert it. See Figure 3-9 for an example. Also keep in mind that when
properly oriented, very little force is required to insert it.
