Figure 1-14 PCMCIA and CF Card Location
There is one PC card slot (Slot 0) and one Compact Flash card slot (Slot 1) located under the
endcap. Slot 0 powers a radio PC card, PC SRAM card, ATA Flash card or a linear Flash card.
The slots hold only one card at a time. Slot 0 supplies .75 of an amp at 5V or 3.3V.
The second slot (Slot 1) is designed to support a Type I or II Compact Flash disk.
See “Chapter 2 Physical Description and Layout”, section titled “PCMCIA Cards” for further
information.
Installing / Removing Cards
Preparation
Requirement: A screwdriver (not supplied by LXE)
• LXE recommends that installation or removal of the card be performed on a clean, well-lit
surface.
• Using a screwdriver, remove or loosen the screws on the endcap.
• Carefully slide the endcap to the side, taking care not to dislodge or disconnect any cables.
• Remove or loosen all cables to the card(s) to be removed/replaced. If a radio card,
disconnect the radio antenna from the radio card.
Installation
1. Slide the card, connector side first, into the slot until it seats. Use caution not to pull or snag
the antenna connector.
2. If the card is difficult to seat in the slot, remove the card, turn it around and re-install.
• The radio antenna connector must be positioned up and toward the front of the device
(near the display).
• Gently snap the antenna cables into the connectors on the radio card. Use caution not to
damage either the antenna cable connectors or the connectors on the radio. Connect all
antenna cables to the PCMCIA radio card.
