If the CF card is replaced for any reason when the Flash memory lock password is specified, the following two
misalignments may occur.
• The misalignment of the Flash memory lock password between the CF card and the NVRAM board (NRB)
• The misalignment of the HDD model type and the HDD serial number between the installed HDD and the
• data of CF card. (In case HDD is installed.)
When the misalignments above are caused by replacing the CF card, use F Memory Lock PW Initialize function
to initialize or reset the items shown below.
1) Flash memory lock password initialize
When the Flash lock password is misaligned between CF card and NVRAM board (NRB), C-D303 is displayed
and the system stops. This function is arranged to initialize the Flash memory lock password to solve this mis-
alignment.
2) HDD resetting
When the HDD model type and the HDD serial number are misaligned between the installed HDD and the data
of CF card, HDD is not recognized and the machine behaves as described below according to the setting of
enhanced security mode.
• When [Enhanced Security Mode] is specified to "Valid" : Stops due to C-D001 ("HDD error")
• When [Enhanced Security Mode] is specified to "Invalid" : Starts without recognizing HDD.
This function is arranged to specify the model and the serial number of installed HDD to the CF card to make
available the HDD which once failed to be recognized.
Note
• When the HDD model type and HDD serial type specified to CF card are different from ones of
installed HDD, the HDD resetting does not function to prevent the fraud use of HDD. HDD resetting
works only when the HDD model type and the HDD serial number are not specified to CF card.
