The CF card is already formatted and contains the necessary system software. A

The CF card is used for storage of the user specific software or data. It is available
with memory sizes from 512 MB to 4 GB.
The CF card and the CF card slot of the device are mechanically coded so that the
CF card cannot be inserted in the wrong way. The card can be used either in the
CF card drive of a PC/Laptop or directly in the device.
The CF card is operated in the "True IDE" mode and therefore behaves like a
standard hard disk. 3.3 V and also 5 V types may be used. The corresponding
input voltage is automatically selected by the device.
In the mounted condition the CF card is protected against electromagnetic and
mechanical influences by a protective cover.
Use only cards of Bachmann electronic GmbH or those which have been released.
