31 Appendix F: Formatting An SD Card
For FAT32
SD cards typically come pre-formatted by the manufacturer, but
for an SD card to operate properly in the FMC2000, it must be
formatted for FAT32, a 32-bit file allocation system. If the card
is formatted for FAT or FAT16 or unformatted, it must be
formatted for FAT32.
Before using an SD card or checking whether it needs
formatting, make sure that its lock tab is in the "unlocked"
position.

31.1 Formatting An SD card
Formatting an SD card erases everything on the card. Once an
SD card is formatted, any contents that were on it cannot be
recovered. Always make a backup of the data on an SD card
before reformatting it.
