Handling precautions

Follow these suggestions to optimize the usage of your
IBM microdrive, as well as those devices in which it is
installed:

Ÿ

Do not cover the breather hole!  Covering the
breather hole may result in loss of data.

Ÿ

Do not press on the drive!  Do not apply any force
to the drive during handling or installation.

Ÿ

Always handle the drive with care to prevent
damage from shock, vibration, or electrostatic
discharge (ESD).

Ÿ

Handle the drive carefully by the edges.  Do not
touch any exposed printed circuit board.  

Ÿ

Do not write on the label or remove it.  Do not apply
additional labels.

Ÿ

Always carry the drive in its plastic case.

Ÿ

Do not drop the drive.

Ÿ

Do not expose the drive to wet conditions.

Ÿ

Do not place the drive near a strong magnetic
field.

Ÿ

Do not expose the drive to extreme temper-
atures.

Ÿ

Do not use the drive in CF+ II slots without an
ejection mechanism.

Ÿ

Be careful when removing the drive from the
host device immediately after operation.  It may
become hot during operation.

Quick installation procedure

Note: Back up all data before beginning installation!

Refer to the manual that came with your computer,
camera, or other device to determine if it is compatible
with the CF+ Type II or the PC card type II drive/ inter-
face adapter and to find instructions on inserting and
removing the IBM microdrive.

Using the IBM microdrive with a PC card adapter
With a PC card adapter the IBM microdrive can be
installed in devices such as digital cameras or PCs that
have a PC card type II slot.  If your IBM microdrive did
not come with a PC card, it can be purchased
separately.

1.  Align the  

 

mark of the IBM microdrive with that of

the

 

PC card.

2. Insert the IBM microdrive firmly into the PC card.

Note: When inserting or removing the PC card, hold
the PC card, not the IBM microdrive.

Using the IBM microdrive without a PC card adapter
The IBM microdrive is compatible with the CF+

TM

 Type II

standard and can be used in devices with the CF+ II slot
without an adapter card.  Refer to the manual shipped
with the device to determine its slot type.
