Proper converter for an IDE DOM
-
I have a Fabiatech FX5620. It's running off a CF chip right now. It's driving me nuts that I can do in-flight upgrades via the web portal. I want to be able to mess around and run RC's, etc. The 5620 has 2.5" IDE and can accept a hard drive. I acquired an 8gig DOM that should work. http://www.techpowerup.com/img/10-07-26/105c.jpg
So I purchased an IDE to USB converter and a IDE gender changer… no dice. It doesn't recognize as a disk. Not quite sure why. So my next bet is to try a different style of a converter. Does this look right? http://www.amazon.com/Elecity-Serial-SATA-Horizontal-Adapter/dp/B003SLTGTE
I have a bunch of SATA PC's that I can use to do a full disk install...
thx!

Why can't you update from the webgui when running from CF?

It's 512meg (the way I purchased it). Space constraint. So I either use this 8 gig DOM that I have for free or purchase a larger CF card and the adapter…

The FX5620 has a built in CF slot you don't need an adapter.
There are upgrade files for 512MB images, what version do you have running now?Steve
-
It's running 2.1 w/ 84% usage. Never gotten an upgrade to work.

And is that the 512MB Nano image? How much RAM do you have?

Yes. 512meg RAM.
