Changing the CompactFlash
CompactFlash cards are designed with flash technology, a non-volatile storage solution
that can retain data indefinitely without a battery. The cards are solid state, meaning
they contain no moving parts, and provide much greater protection of data than
conventional magnetic disk drives.
The D400 contains two CompactFlash cards on the main board to store software and
data:
•
System CompactFlash card located at connector
P2
stores system firmware
•
User CompactFlash card located at connector
P1
is accessible from the front panel
