Powering On the Flexy 205 with its Extension Cards

The normal boot sequence of the Flexy 205 takes approximately 25 seconds to complete. During
this process, all LEDs go ON for a while except BI1 as long as the RESET button is not pressed and
the WAN / LAN Ethernet ports.
If the RESET button was pressed, the USR LED will be orange for a little time.
As soon as the boot process is finished and the unit is ready to be used, the USR LED blinks green
slowly.
The extension card types are detected one slot after the other during the boot sequence and are
automatically installed from a system standpoint.

Multiple Extension Cards

5.4.1 Detection Order
The boot sequence of the Flexy 205 includes an automated detection of the inserted extension
cards. This detection is done sequentially, one slot after the other, starting from the left to the
right (when holding the Flexy 205 with its logo on the right side).
5.4.2 Software Compatibility of Multiple Cards Combination
The Ewon Flexy 205 allows the insertion of multiple extension cards of the same type. Some
configurations including multiple extension cards, even if mechanically acceptable, are not
supported by the embedded software. Cards in excess are ignored during the automated
detection process which means that the Flexy 205 and its running extension cards will operate
normally.
The ignored card(s) will appear in the Diagnostic > Status > System Info > System but they will
not be functional.
