Moxa IA262-I-CE [11/74] Hive based registry contrast to ram based registry

IA261/262 WinCE User’s Manual Introduction

The additional file systems on USB and CompactFlash storage devices are placed at the root of the

internal file system. If you intend to use these devices to port data between your PC and the

IA26X-CE computer, please format them as the FAT file system on your PC.

Hive-Based Registry-Contrast to RAM-Based Registry

The registry for the IA26X-CE is a hive-based registry in contrast to a RAM-based registry. The

hive-based registry stores registry data inside files, or hives, which can be kept on any file system.

This removes the need for performing backup and restore on power off.

Inserting a CompactFlash Card

The IA26X-CE is equipped with a CompactFlash slot of type II which supports cards of both types

- I and II. A mass storage card is considered to be a standard attachment to the computer. Thus,

when an empty mass storage card is inserted into the slot, the computer automatically formats it to

the FAT system. This process takes a few minutes to complete. The IA26X-CE, when a mass

storage card is inserted, creates a directory named “HardDisk” under the root directory and the

newly created directory serves a link to the storage. The IA26X-CE does not support PNP (plug

and play) and hot swap for CompactFlash storage. User must to switch off the power and then

insert Compact Flash storage to slot. And then switch on the power again the IA26X-CE will

detect the CompactFlash storage. If user wants to pull out the Compact Flash storage please

remove the power source first.

There are some CompactFlash storage disks are not compatible with IA26X-CE. You could try the

other CompactFlash storage or disable ultra DMA using the “System Manager’ to change this

setting.

The following table describes the compatible CompactFlash storages list that we had tested

successfully.

Inserting a USB Mass Storage

When an empty USB storage device is plugged into the USB slot at the back of the IA26X-CE, the

computer automatically formats it to the FAT system.

When the first USB mass storage device is plugged in, a directory named “USBDisk” under the

root directory is created as a link to the storage, on the internal file system. The directory created

for the second plugged in USB device is “USBDisk2”.
