[Elphel-support] the problems from the hdd (in short)

[Carlos Padial]

hi oleg

Ok, i have removed the black piece from the 103692, now i see it like
in the wiki

So you are saying its posible to reuse the black conector soldering
back to the 10369? wouldn't it be better to find a new black piece
(from the diagram i supose its the one called J6 CF/HDD adapter) i
mean because of the broken pins.

now i have removed the hdd enclosure and the wire. The camera works fine.
we want to try the sata external conexion, some recomendations?
what format must have the disk? it should be automatically detected?

best regards
carlos
