Automatic quad mode adapter – use with 1 MicroSD card in standard mode and 2 or 3 or 4 MicroSD cards in mixed JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) mode for even greater storage capacity.

Installation

Installation Guide

: Using suitable tools, release the holding clips, making your way around the case till it opens. I suggest watching some iPod opening videos on the internet.

: Before pulling the case apart, release the battery cable – lift the black lock bar -or- gently using even pressure pull up the battery ribbon away from the connector.

: Rest the front and back side by side, be careful to not cause too much stress on the headphone ribbon.

: Lift and flip back the hard drive. Gently lift the black bar to release the ribbon from the HDD.

: Remove all rubber bumpers and strips from the iPods if any remain after the HDD is removed. iPod is ready to accept the iFlash board.

: Install MicroSD card(s) in to the iFlash-Quad, If not using 4 MicroSD cards then load from slot uSD1 up.

: Install iFlash-Quad into iPod, making sure the ribbon is fully home and the black bar is locked down.

: Place supplied foam pad on to the chipset, use both if fitting in to a thick caseback.

: Slide battery cable in to the connector and push down the black latch to lock the ribbon in place.

: iPod is now ready to restore & sync using iTunes.

General Notes:

All modern UHS-I U1 and U3 cards will generally work ok. We suggest buying the fastest card in your budget as they tend to have faster access times and better quality memory chips.

Tip: MicroSD market is full of fake and mislabeled cards – try to purchase cards which the seller has obtained directly from the manufacturer. Be wary of cheap, high capacity cards – If it looks too good to be true – then it is fake! We always suggest testing the SD card fully using something like H2Testw.
