Quick installation procedure

Note: Back up all data before beginning installation!

Refer to the manual that came with your computer, camera, or other device to determine if it is compatible with the CF+ Type II or the PC card type II drive/ interface adapter and to find instructions on inserting and removing the IBM microdrive.

Using the IBM Microdrive with a PC card adapter

With a PC card adapter the IBM Microdrive can be installed in devices such as digital cameras or PCs that have a PC card type II slot. If your Microdrive did not come with a PC card, it can be purchased separately.

1.Align the mark of the IBM Microdrive with that of the PC card.

2.Insert the IBM Microdrive firmly into the PC card.

Note: When inserting or removing the PC card, hold the PC card, not the IBM Microdrive.

The IBM Microdrive is compatible with the CF+ Type II standard and can be used in devices with the CF+ Type II slot without an adapter card. Refer to the manual shipped with the device to determine its slot type.
