Fixed System Files only exist in two
directories: '\system\primary' and
'\system\backup'. Some fixed system files
must be specifically named. They have the
system and read-only file attributes set to
reduce inadvertent deletion/modification
Non system files can be any type, including copies of any of the above – it is the directory and name that determine the
type of file.

5.3.3 Booting from the SD Cards

The control unit can be forced to bypass the primary folder by pressing the Aux switch on the rear panel when applying
power to the control unit.

5.3.4 SD Card Removal

Before a memory card is removed from an Essential Edition - PARTNER® Version system that is running, the card should
be shutdown. Removing a memory card while the system is running may cause file corruption.
Shutting down the memory card disables all services provided by the card including embedded voicemail. Features
licensed by the memory card will continue to operate for up to 2 hours.
Card services can be restarted by either reinserting the card or using a Start Up command.
Card Shutdown Using Manager
1. Using IP Office Manager, select File | Advanced | Memory Card Commands | Shutdown.
2. In the Select IP Office dialog, select the IP Office system containing the memory card.
3. Click OK.
4. At the back of the control unit, confirm that the memory card LED is off.
5. The card can now be removed in order to perform the necessary maintenance actions.
Card Reinsertion
Reinserting a card into a system that is already switched on will automatically restart the card. Similarly reinserting the
card and rebooting the IP Office system will restart the card. However, if the card has been shutdown but not removed, it
can be restarted using Manager without requiring a reboot.
Card Startup Using Manager
1. Using IP Office Manager, select File | Advanced | Memory Card Commands | Startup.
