32003375 Rev 2 Introduction Scope This manual describes the installation and operational features of the Targa Series 3 Serial ATA (SATA) Holder System (HS). 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.
In reviewing the Holder and Memory Card unit costs versus the costs in establishing a depot repair facility, Targa recommends the following: Holder be specified as an LRU with return to Targa Systems for repair. PCMCIA/ATA card be specified as an LRU item and be declared as a disposable item when faulty.
It reads or writes at a specified block or sector number Media Not Present If the door is closed, but the PC Card is not present the Targa's SATA interface uses ‘out of bounds’ (OOB) signalling to indicate the SATA link has been disconnected.
Targa's SATA Holder does not provide any locking mechanism to prevent card removal during operation. Targa's SATA Holder is equipped with a door sensor to perform a card shutdown and SATA link OOB signalling to support “Hot Swap” operations .
Products returned without an R.A. number, or returned C.O.D. will not be accepted by Targa. 3. If the product is covered under Targa's Limited Warranty, there will be no charge for parts or labour. 4. If the product is not covered under Targa's Limited Warranty, there will be a minimum charge for each item returned and a purchase order must accompany any returned goods.
