Using a CompactFlash Card

A CompactFlash card is smaller than a PC Card, but can add
similar functions to the tablet PC system. Most commonly, a
CompactFlash card is used to add backup, storage, wireless
network, fax/modem, or cellular telephone functions.
When using a CompactFlash card, Compaq recommends that you
connect the system to external power whenever possible. Some
CompactFlash cards use large amounts of power and can quickly
drain a battery pack.
Ä
CAUTION: To prevent loss of work or damage to a CompactFlash card:
■
Do not save your work to a CompactFlash card unless the
tablet PC is connected to external power or you are certain that
the battery pack has enough charge remaining to complete the
operation.
■
Do not shut down the tablet PC or remove the CompactFlash
card until all activities supported by the card are complete.

Selecting a CompactFlash Card

The tablet PC supports both Type I and Type II CompactFlash cards.

Configuring a CompactFlash Card

If a CompactFlash card manufacturer instructs you to install
card-specific drivers, be sure to install only the drivers supported
by the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition operating system. If you
are unsure of driver compatibility, contact the CompactFlash card
manufacturer.
