Sd Card (Memory); Installing The Sd Card; Formatting The Sd Card - Topcon Net-G5 Operator's Manual

SD Card (Memory)

The receiver is equipped with a removable memory SD card that provides up to 32 GB of data storage. As data
is logged to the memory card, the REC LED displays the memory capacity status. See "Recording LED" on
page 11 for more information.
Insert the SD Card into the SD card slot located on the front panel under the door. Once installed, the SD card
usually remains inside the receiver. You can access the data that resides on the card using the serial, USB,
Ethernet ports, or the Vanguard web interface.

Installing the SD Card

To preserve data integrity, only install or remove the card when the receiver is powered off.
1. Make sure the receiver is turned off.
2. Make sure the card has been formatted for the FAT32 file system before first use. See "Formatting the SD
Card" on page 7.
3. On the front panel, open the door by turning the two screws to the left.
4. Carefully insert the SD card, label side up, into the card slot as shown in Figure 5.
5. Make sure the bottom of the card is recessed before closing the receiver door.
Once the receiver is turned on, the receiver board detects the SD card and is ready for use.

Formatting the SD Card

The Net-G5 requires an external SD card formatted for the FAT32 file system. You can format the SD card using
the internal disk management application provided by Microsoft; however, this application cannot create
partitions larger than 32 GB. You can also format the card with PC running Windows, and then use the card in
the receiver.
For more information about FAT32 limitations and formatting, got to
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/184006/en-us. For partitions larger than 32 GB, use external disk partition
software.
Formatting the SD card permanently erases all data on the card. Back up any necessary data before formatting
the SD card.
