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.
