In this configuration the CF100 extends beyond the outline of the TP400, so as not to
obstruct any heatsink positioned on the Geode GX1 processor.
G.2.2 Cable
Connection
The CF100 can be connected to the TP400 remotely, via a length of ribbon cable.
The CF100 J3 male connector allows a suitable ribbon cable assembly to connect
between the CF100 and the TP400 J100 male connector. This allows the CF100 to
be located in any position within the length of the ribbon cable.
One positioning option is for the CF100 to be folded back underneath the TP400, and
secured with mounting pillars. In this configuration the CF100 lies within the boundary
of the TP400.
A second option is for the CF100 to be mounted on pillars on the right hand edge of
the TP400 (the edge where connectors J6, J7 and J8 are located).
A third option is to use the holes provided on the CF100 PCB to mount the CF100 on
the panel of the computer’s enclosure.
Two cables are available to allow for these options. The CF100-IDECA is 120mm
long, which is sufficient to mount the CF100 in either of the positions on the TP400,
and some panel mounting applications. The EC586-IDECA is 300mm long and thus
suitable for longer panel-mounting applications.
G.3
INSTALLING THE COMPACT FLASH CARD INTO THE CF100
This is simplicity itself. The Compact Flash cards can only be inserted into the CF100
J1 connector, one way. That is, incorrect card insertion is not possible. Push the
Compact Flash card into the CF100 J1 connector all the way until the card will move
no further. The CF100 gold connector pins should not be visible.
Although the Compact Flash standard allows for Compact Flash modules to be
installed and removed while the host computer is powered on, this must not be done
with the TP400, since the TP400 BIOS and operating systems assume that a hard
disk drive is present permanently. Removing or changing a Compact Flash card while
the TP400 is powered on may confuse software and corrupt data on the disks.
G.4
CONFIGURING THE TP400 FOR THE CF100 AND CARD
Before the Compact Flash card can be used with the TP400 the TP400 needs to be
configured for IDE drive operation. This process is exactly the same for Compact
Flash cards as it is for conventional IDE disk drives. This process is described below.
1
Power-on the TP400 and enter the TP400 BIOS Setup program by hitting the
F2 key during the memory test.
