CompactFlash is installed on the C-FLASH connector. The board supports an IDE
compatible flash disk by using a CompactFlash module (Kontron part number T069).
CompactFlash (C-Flash) disks are the world's smallest resident industry-standard
ATA/IDE subsystem for application, data, image, and audio storage. They have the same
functionality and capabilities as intelligent disk drives, but with the advantages of being
very compact, rugged (typical M.T.B.F. is 1,000,000 hours) and low power.
The CompactFlash disk connects directly on the Primary EIDE interface. It must be
declared the same way as a standard hard disk using the
HDD Auto Detection function).
To setup the CompactFlash disk for Master or Slave configuration, use the W10 jumper
located on the SBC.

W10 to set CompactFlash Disk as Master or Slave
Setup is described in Section 3.2 – Setting Jumpers
Since a CompactFlash Disk is the same as an IDE Hard Disk, refer to section 4.1.5
and 4.1.10 (AWARD CMOS Setup Utility) to set options for this drive: master or
slave, boot disk, etc.
NOTE
Since data is accessed as an IDE drive, no specific flash disk driver is required
for most operating systems.
