Inserting/Removing CF (CompactFlash) Cards
• To insert a card, push it into the slot until it stops
• In order for your computer to recognize CF cards after insertion into
the Qio MR, you must open Device Manager (click Start, and then
right-click Computer > Manage. In the left-hand pane, click Device
Manager) and then from the menu select Action > Rescan Disks
• To remove a CF card, pull it straight out of the slot
• After removing a CF card, open Device Manager and select
Action > Rescan Disks to refresh the system’s inventory of disks
SxS and P2 Memory Card Write Protect Switches
SxS and P2 memory cards have write protect switches. When set
to the “WP” or “PROTECT” position, saving, editing and deleting
data are disabled. Do not change the switch positions on SxS or
P2 cards when they are in the Qio MR. If you need to change
the switch position, follow the instructions on card removal as
previously described, pull the card out of its slot, change the
card’s switch position, and then reinsert the card into its slot.
WARNING: Do not “eject“ CF cards (selecting Safely
remove… from the taskbar); otherwise, the Qio MR
may become disabled. Some CF cards are seen as non-
removable disks. Ejecting these cards by this method will cause
the entire Qio MR (and any cards inserted or drives attached) to
eject. If you did eject a CF card by choosing Safely remove from
the taskbar, restart your computer to restore functionality to the
Qio MR.
