PCMCIA Cards
When removing or installing PCMCIA cards, protect the MX3-CE internal
components from electrostatic discharge.
Use and operation of the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA)
device (e.g. PC card) is dependent upon both the type of device installed and the application(s)
running on the computer.
Make sure the proper software is pre-loaded and PC cards are properly configured.
There is one PC card slot (Slot 0) and one Compact Flash card slot (Slot 1) in the MX3-CE. 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.
Figure 1-22 Slot Locations
Note: As there is no PC Card management software loaded on the MX3-CE, LXE recommends
purchasing preformatted PC SRAM and Flash cards as well as preformatted Compact
Flash disks.
Requirement: A screwdriver (not supplied by LXE)
Preparation
• LXE recommends that installation of the PC card be performed on a clean, well-lit surface.
• Using a screwdriver, loosen the endcap and carefully remove or loosen all cables.
Disconnect the radio antenna from the radio card.
• Set both the endcap and the screws aside.
