Publication No: 500-9300007768-000 Rev. H.0
3.7 CompactFlash Disk (V7768 Only)
The V7768 features an optional onboard CompactFlash mass storage system with
a capacity of up to 8GByte. This CompactFlash Disk appears to the user as an
intelligent ATA (IDE) disk drive with the same functionality and capabilities as a
“rotating media” IDE hard drive. The V7768 BIOS includes an option to allow the
board to boot from the CompactFlash with user-provided operating system.
3.7.1 Configuration
The CompactFlash Disk resides on the V7768 as the secondary IDE bus master
device (the secondary IDE bus slave device is not assignable).
3.8 Remote Ethernet Booting
The V7768/V7769 is capable of booting from a server using Gigabit Ethernet over
a network utilizing the Boot ROM BIOS. The BIOS gives you the ability to
remotely boot the V7768/V7769 using a PXE network protocol. The Ethernet must
be connected through the GbE front panel (RJ45) connector to boot remotely. This
feature allows users to create systems without the worry of disk drive reliability
or the extra cost of adding CompactFlash drives.
