- If switch power off or execute reset operation right after writing data, always do it after exiting
windows correctly. Not doing so may break the data that have been written into the CF card,
sometimes it may get PT-E not to start up normally.
- Use same series' CF cards in SLAVE and MASTER sides (Any capacity is acceptable). CF card
supplied by our company is recommended.
- Do not copy OS data by Explorer. Doing so may get PT-E not to start up normally.
Before Setup
