Device Destruction by exceeding allowed Signaling Voltage
To avoid device destruction due to high signal voltage to your PC Card cifX,
you must observe the following instructions. These instructions apply to all
PC Cards cifX described in this manual.
•
All I/O signal pins at the PC Card cifX tolerate only the specified
signaling voltage!
•
Operating of your PC Card cifX with a signaling voltage other than the
specified signaling voltage may lead to severe damage to the PC Card
cifX!
The data on the mandatory signaling voltage for the PC Cards cifX
described in this manual you find in the section
Voltage on page 27. There the required and permitted signaling
voltage is provided by device type.
