5.1.3 NVRAM UPLOAD AND DOWNLOAD

An SD card is used to upload and download NVRAM data.

Uploading NVRAM Data to an SD Card

Important:
• Data upload from NVRAM to SD card will fail if the machine serial number of the
machine is not registered with SP5811. The machine serial number should be
set at the factory before shipping.
• NVRAM data can be uploaded from several machines and stored on the same
SD card. A unique filename is created automatically for each machine.
To upload data from NVRAM to an SD card
1. Enter the SP mode and do SP5990 002 to print an SMC report.
NOTE: Always print an SMC report before uploading NVRAM data, just in case
the download of the NVRAM data fails. If the download fails you can
use the report to re-enter the SP and UP settings manually.
2. Turn the machine off.
3. Insert the SD card in Slot 1 (the top slot).
4. Turn the machine on.
5. Enter the SP mode and do SP5824.
6. Touch [OK] on the operation panel to start the uploade.
Data uploaded from NVRAM is stored in the NVRAM folder on the card:
NVRAM\<Machine No.>.nv
Important: The upload automatically overwrites any file of the same name
without warning.
