The protective cap prevents a contact between the insertion mechanism
and the jumpers.
– Open the module flap as you push the „knob“ upward. Pull the flap
slightly with the hand until the flap swings upwards (nearly horizontal).
An already inserted storage device will be pushed outward and can be
withdrawn.
– Place the storage device with the connector strip facing in direction to
the module and to the right.
– Push the storage device completely into the slot.
– Close the module flap with caution.
Attention: If you cannot close the flap or only with effort, the storage de-
vice is not inserted correctly. Remove the storage device again and
check the correct position of the connector strip (see aboce). Repeat the
inserting procedure.
File systems to be used
The module can format, read, and write storage devices with EXT3 or FAT32
file system. The EXT3 file system is case sensitive, FAT32 is not.
Please note, that
ADbasic
can read only files with a size of up 2 GiB. Using the
EXT3 file system, you can create files of more than 2GiB by appending data
(readable on a PC, but not in ADbasic). In the FAT32 file system, appending
data to a file will result in an error if the maximum file size is exceeded.
A removable storage device can be read or written on other PCs with appro-
priate SATA interface.
Internal clock
Processor modules with option Pro II-Boot-Storage contain an internal clock,
which is buffered by an exchangeable battery. The module uses the clock to
add a time stamp to file operations. You can query the clock time with an
ADbasic
instruction. The clock is not suitable as time stamp for measurement
results.
The clock is set ex works, afterwards the module automatically synchronizes
with a time server in the internet as soon as Iinternet access is available. At the
moment, the clock cannot be set manually.
