Siemens Sinumerik 840D sl Function Manual page 6

Preface
Standard scope
This documentation describes the functionality of the standard scope. Additions or
revisions made by the machine manufacturer are documented by the machine ma-
nufacturer.
Other functions not described in this documentation might be executable in the
control system. This does not, however, represent an obligation to supply such
functions with a new controller or when servicing.
For the sake of simplicity, this documentation does not contain all detailed informa-
tion about all types of the product and cannot cover every conceivable case of in-
stallation, operation, or maintenance.
Technical support
You can find telephone numbers for other countries for technical support in the In-
ternet at "Contact" (www.siemens.com/automation/service&support).
CompactFlash cards for users:
S SINUMERIK CNC supports the file systems FAT16 and FAT32 for Compact-
Flash cards. You may need to format the memory card if you want to use a me-
mory card from another device or if you want to ensure the compatibility of the
memory card with the SINUMERIK. However, formatting the memory card will
permanently delete all data on it.
S Do not remove the memory card while it is being accessed. This can lead to
damage of the memory card and the SINUMERIK as well as the data on the
memory card.
S If you cannot use a memory card with the SINUMERIK, it is probably because
the memory card is not formatted for the control system (e.g. Ext3 Linux file
system), the memory card file system is faulty, or it is the wrong type of me-
mory card.
S Insert the memory card carefully with the correct orientation into the memory
card slot (observe indicators such as arrow or similar). This way you avoid me-
chanical damage to the memory card or the device.
S Only use memory cards that have been approved by Siemens for use with SI-
NUMERIK. Even though the SINUMERIK keeps to the general industry stan-
dards for memory cards, it is possible that memory cards from some manufac-
turers will not function perfectly in this device or are not completely compatible
with it (you can obtain information on compatibility from the memory card manu-
facturer or supplier).
S The "CompactFlash Card®5000 Industrial Grade" from SanDisk has been ap-
proved for SINUMERIK (Order Number 6FC5313--5AG00.0AA0).
