PC & SDIO CARD DESCRIPTION
PC Cards
PC cards are available in 3 basic formats: Type I, Type II & Type III. The type refers to the thickness of the
card; type III being the thickest. The width is the same for all cards, however the length will depend on the par-
ticular function of the card. (Memory cards are the shortest while wireless and GPS cards are much longer).
Note: The standard length of a PC card is 85.7 mm (≈ 3
1/8
in). The maximum length a CE3000B unit can
accommodate is 120 mm (≈ 4
1/2
in). The extended length is usually used for GPS, RF Tag Readers and
wireless cards.
Note: CF cards (Compact Flash Cards) are between the SDIO and PC Cards in terms of size and can
generally be installed in the CE3000B unit as a PC card, however, it requires the use of an Adapter.
SDIO Cards
These cards are available in a smaller format. Length will depend on the complexity of the card, e.g., a
memory card is much shorter than a wireless card.
SDIO Cards will come in 3 different lengths:
Short: 32 mm (standard cards such as memory cards)
Medium: 40 mm (such as Bluetooth cards)
Long: 54 mm (such as WIFI AND WLAN Cards)
Note: The CE3000B unit does not accept CardBus 32 bit PC Cards or extended PCM CIA Cards (which all
use the same technology). To ensure your unit may accept certain cards not described within this user guide,
it is recommended you refer to our Technical Support Web Site for the most current information, or contact
your Technical Support Representative nearest you.
USING PC & SDIO CARDS
One PC Card slot and one SDIO card slot are located at the top of the Endcap or the Adaptable Endcap.
Follow the instructions to insert, remove or to replace a card.
WARNING
To ensure no dirt particles or water enters the unit when inserting, removing or replacing PC or SDIO
cards, it is important to do so in a clean and dry area.
Some Adaptable Endcaps may make the installation of these cards more complex. You may require the
assistance of a skilled technician or assistance from customer technical support.
PC & SDIO CArds can reduce battery life signicantly, especially the WLAN and Bluetooth cards.
Most PC & SDIO cards that are not memory cards, will require the installation of a driver for proper
functioning. Refer to your technical suport team or Roper Mobile Technical Support Team for further
information.
