CompactFlash Cards for 6181X Hazardous Location Computers
Catalog Numbers 6189V-CFSSD8GB, 6189V-CFSSD16GB
CompactFlash Card
The computers have two CompactFlash (CF) Type II card slots:
• Internal CF slot (right side) – A card installed in this slot is considered
bootable and is designed to function as a main hard-disk drive. Do not 
remove or load a card in this slot while the computer is powered on.
• External CF slot (bottom side) – This slot is functionally hot-pluggable in
an environment known to be nonhazardous. This slot is meant to be a data 
CF slot, but is bootable.

IMPORTANT
When installing hardware or performing maintenance procedures 
requiring access to internal components, we recommend that you first 
back up all computer data to avoid loss. 
To avoid voiding your product warranty, use only Rockwell Automation 
Allen-Bradley approved replacement parts and accessories. You can view 
a current list of accessories at the Rockwell Automation website 
.
ATTENTION: Be sure to read and understand the entire installation or 
removal procedure first, before you begin configuring the computer 
hardware.
Review the specifications of a new component before installing it to make 
sure it is compatible with the computer. Record the model and serial number, 
and any other pertinent information of new components, for future reference.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage the computer and components. 
Make sure you work in a static-safe environment and wear a grounding strap 
whenever handling circuit boards, power supplies, memory modules, or other 
internal components.
SHOCK HAZARD: The computers contain line voltages. Disconnect all 
power to the computer before you install or remove system components. 
Failure to do so could result in severe electrical shock or damage to the 
computer.
