The Cortex vX series system comes with a CFast socket on
the front panel for Type-I / Type-II Compact Flash card. It
is implemented by a SATA II Port from QM77 PCH. Be sure
to disconnect the power source and unscrew the CFast
socket cover before installing a CFast card. The Cortex
vX series does not support the CFast hot swap and PnP
(Plug and Play) functions. It is necessary to remove power
source first before inserting or removing the CFast card.
