Introduction

Scope
This manual describes the installation and operational features of the Targa Series 3 Serial
ATA (SATA) Holder System (HS).
1.2
Overview
The Series 3 HS (Holder System) is a compact, self contained system, designed to store and
retrieve data from industry standard PC Card ATA (previously PCMCIA/ATA) FLASH
memory cards, via industry standard SATA 1 interface.
The internal mount Holder System is designed to fit into a 3.5" floppy bay and operate from a
5Vdc power supply.
The PC Card access door is opened by simply depressing the right side door latch slightly
towards the centre, requiring thumb or finger pressure only. This action releases the door lock
mechanism and as the door is opened, an optical sensor is tripped and the interface performs a
power shutdown of the PC Card to support “hot swap” operations.
Once the door is open the PC Card is inserted through the front panel card slot and gently
pushed into place. Conversely the PC Card is removed by depressing the card eject button
immediately beside the card slot.
Industry standard "FLASH / ATA " PC Cards provide a reliable, removable means for
transporting data between the mission platform based DTU and any ground based computer
system equipped with a PCMCIA socket and socket services software.
