Caution Do not insert or remove the CompactFlash card while the system is powered on.
Doing so may cause data loss, and in some cases the drive may need reformatting.
Third-party cards may require additional drivers. Contact your
CompactFlash vendor for more information.
Caution The CompactFlash interface is ESD sensitive. An electrostatic shock to the
CompactFlash module while it is inserted may cause the controller to lock up or reboot,
or data loss on a CompactFlash memory card.
