To load the system software onto the CompactFlash card:
- Connect the CompactFlash Card Reader to an available USB port on your PC and plug the CompactFlash card into the reader.
- Download the system software zip file from our site to your desktop.
- If you are familiar with WinZip, you can extract the file directly to the CompactFlash card and skip steps 3 and 4.
- Double-click the file you downloaded in step 1 to have WinZip extract it.
