CARD-MEM (Memory Card)
A memory card contains a set of flash EPROM memory devices. The data can b e
stored in a memory card and can remain nonvolatile, even when the power is off.
The memory card is installed into the Processor circuit pack to sav e the
translations, announcements, and c ore dumps. During the sys tem reboot or a
system power down cond ition, the in-core system maintenanc e hardware error
logs are temporarily saved in the memory card before the system g oes down.
When the system is restarted, the error logs file is read b ack from the memory
card.
The Hard Patch feature also uses the memory card as tem porary storage when
LMM applies an upd ate file to the in-core system software. The system software
is stored in the "flash" section of main memory. The memory card used for savi ng
translations doesn’t contain a c opy of the system software.
The recommended size of a memory c ard for each config uration is describ ed in
the following table.
Customers can have either 1 MB, 4 MB, or 10 MB memory c ards for the normal
operations. 10 MB memory card s are also used for maintenance and software
upgrades. The software upg rade memory card c annot be used for saving
translations.
