How to use

Insert a compatible SD or SDHC card into the converter, then connect the converter to a free IDE 44‑pin port on the motherboard or device. Ensure the device is set to recognise an IDE boot device in BIOS/firmware if you intend to boot from the SD card. The converter receives power through the IDE connector, so no separate power cable is needed.

Recommendations

Use high‑quality SD or SDHC cards with adequate speed ratings for the intended operating system or application. When installing an OS, verify BIOS/firmware boot order and test the card for reliable read/write performance before deploying in critical systems.
