Installing the FlashDrive/104
Warning! Connecting both the 44-pin connector and 40-pin connector at the same time will lead
to mis-identification by the computer’s BIOS and operating system. Ensure that only one IDE
cable is connected at a time.
Installing into a PC/104 stack with a 40-pin connector:
1) Connect the FlashDrive/104 to the main board, using the 40-pin connector (P8, 0.100”).
2) Insert the FlashDrive/104 into the PC/104 stack.
Warning! Power is provided through the PC/104 and PCI-104 connectors. Do not supply
power through the external power connector (P3).
Installing into a PC/104 stack with a 44-pin connector:
1) Connect the FlashDrive/104 to the main board, using the 44-pin connector (P1, 2mm).
2) Insert the FlashDrive/104 into the PC/104 stack.
Note: For DDG/DEG power can be provided through pins 41 & 42 of the 44-pin
connector (P1), however, the voltage must be 5V.

Installing an Operating System
FlashDrive/104 is provided without formatted partitions. It may be formatted as the primary
bootable disk drive or as a secondary disk drive, similar to any other hard disk drive. Any
standard disk partitioning and formatting utility may be used.
All operating systems that are compatible with ATA/IDE devices will recognize the
FlashDrive/104 and may be installed into boot partitions. Because installation methods may
vary between specific operating systems, it may be necessary to consult your operating system
or the main board’s ATA/IDE controller documentation for instructions.
