Installation
WARNING! Computer equipment can be severely damaged by static electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before opening
your computer case or touching your hard drive. StarTech.com recommends that you wear an anti-static strap when installing any
computer component. If an anti-static strap is unavailable, discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large
grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds. Be sure to handle your hard drive carefully and consult your hard
drive and laptop manufacturer for details on how to remove the drive.
WARNING! The CF2IDE18 adapter does not support hot-swapping. Please ensure that the host computer is powered down when
connecting or disconnecting the Compact Flash card to or from the adapter. Similarly, please ensure that the host computer is powered
down when connecting/removing the adapter, when a Compact Flash card is installed.
Please note: To simplify installation, power down the computer or IDE device into which the adapter will be installed, and remove the
existing IDE device.
1. With the Compact Flash card label facing upward (visible), align the holes on the connector end of the
Compact Flash card you wish to install, with the pins provided by the by CF2IDE18 adapter, and gently
press the Compact Flash card toward the pins, until the pins are fully inserted into the adapter connector
holes.
2. Jumpers: To use the Compact Flash card connected to CF2IDE18 as a Master drive, leave Jumper #1 in place. To use it as a slave drive,
please remove Jumper #1.
To designate how the Compact Flash card connected to the adapter will be recognized by the host computer (as either a 1.8" or 2.5" IDE
drive), ensure that Jumper #2 is covering two of the three jumper pins provided, as depicted on the adapter board markings (shown
below).
