Installation
If you have no specialist knowledge of installation procedures, please arrange for the installation
to be carried out by a SPECIALIST or an appropriate specialist workshop. Incorrect installation
can cause damage both to the CF adapter and to your computer and all connected devices.
Caution! Mortal Danger!
Switch off the computer in which the CF adapter is to be installed and all connected devices.
Disconnect all devices from the mains voltage and pull out the mains plug. Switching the device
off via the ON/OFF switch is not sufficient.
• Open the housing of your computer and carefully remove the cover.
• Depending on the housing, the CF adapter may be mounted like a 3.5" drive or in a free slot using the
slot bracket included.
• With the jumper on the CF adapter you can set whether the CF memory card should work as the master
or slave drive.
• Power adapter cable
• Operating instructions
• Connect an IDE cable with the desired 40 or 44-pin connector (only one of the two connectors must be
used). Pin 1 is marked on the circuit board.
Mainboard
Pin 1
• The left connector, designated as "Mainboard", is usually marked in a colour and is also slightly farther
away from the other two connectors. It has to be plugged into the relevant socket of your mainboard.
• Connect the first IDE device (preferably a hard disk) to the "Master" connector. This hard disk must be set
as the master drive.
• If applicable, connect a second hard disk (or a CD/DVD drive) to the "Slave" connector. This device must
be set as the slave drive.
Usually, 44-wire cables do not have a "slave" plug. In this case set the jumper on the CF adaptor
to "Master".
• Connect a 3.5" power supply plug to the power supply connector on the CF adapter (not required when
using a 44-wire IDE cable).
• Plug in a CF memory card.
• Close the computer housing.
• Reconnect your computer and monitor to the mains voltage and switch on all devices.
• If your computer does not start correctly, switch it off immediately and check all settings and cable
connections.
Before you open the computer again, it needs to be disconnected from the mains voltage, see
above!
Using the adapter
• The function of the adapter is only to interconnect the differently shaped connectors of CF memory cards
and 40/44-pin IDE connectors. The adapter contains no electronics, therefore Windows will not detect
any new hardware.
• The CF memory card has to be plugged in before switching on the computer and must not be replaced
during operation. Always switch off the computer first, before removing or replacing the CF card.
An IDE connection does not allow connection or disconnection during operation. The computer
will not recognize a change of the memory card. There is a risk of data loss or even damage to
the CF card and the controller.
Reason: The IDE to CF Adapter is not a card reader, but an adapter for interconnecting the
different connectors! If you want to change memory cards during operation, please use a regular
USB card reader!
Tips & notes
• Switch off the computer first and disconnect it from the mains voltage, if you want to remove or plug in a
CF card (see above).
• You can easily remove the CF memory card by pressing the eject button.
• The CF adapter is only suitable for CF memory cards.
• Make sure you have the jumper on the CF adapter set to the correct setting ("Master" or "Slave").
• A CF memory card plugged in the CF adapter will seem like a hard disk.
However, compared to a hard disk, access times are higher and the data transfer rate is lower. Therefore,
booting an operating system will take much more time than with a hard disk.
