APOLLO user manual
Connecting a CompactFlash
The APOLLO has a single CF+ version 2.0 Type II CompactFlash
both Type I and Type II CompactFlash cards. This provides support for magnetic disk
drive data storage and I/O cards such as Ethernet, serial, fax/modem, barcode scanner,
Bluetooth, 802.11b wireless LAN, wireless digital cell phone cards and so on.
The CompactFlash socket is connected to the CardBus/PCMCIA controller. If a
CompactFlash card is plugged into the socket it acts as a normal hard disk drive and is
detected by the BIOS during the POST process. If the card has an operating system
loaded and is correctly configured to be bootable, it can be selected as a boot device
from the BIOS boot menu.
The CompactFlash card can only be inserted into the socket one way. The correct
orientation is for the top of the card (i.e. the normal printed side) to be furthest from the
PCB.
For further details about the CompactFlash socket, see
page 112.

Turning on your APOLLO
By default, the APOLLO BIOS is set to enter a standby state when power is applied. This
therefore requires the operator to turn the unit ON via a remote switch connected to the
board. The APOLLO power button connection should be connected to a momentary ON
push button switch; this is described in
To set the APOLLO board into a mode whereby it automatically starts when AC power is
applied, change the After Power Failure setting in the Power screen within the BIOS
Setup. See
