Why Will My FieldPoint Not Recognize My External CompactFlash Card?

Hardware: Compact FieldPoint, Compact FieldPoint>>Controllers>>cFP-2120, Compact FieldPoint>>Controllers>>cFP-2020

Problem:
I am trying to expand my FieldPoint's memory by adding an external CompactFlash card. I bought it brand new from a third party and upon installation, my FieldPoint will not recognize it. What am I doing wrong?

Solution:
For your FieldPoint to recognize a CompactFlash card, it must be formatted and many companies sell CompactFlash memory cards that are not previously formatted. To determine how to format your card, use a CompactFlash card reader and follow the directions provided by the manufacturer.
