Maintenance Objects
Always use 8 MB memory Cards, 16 MB memory cards should only be used when
an 8MB card gives an error in the CAP-MEM Maintenance Object Test #1014
(Memory Card Capacity Test). 16 MB cards must also be used if a DEFINITY
Wireless Business System is connected.
NOTE:
Beginning with Release 9, the memory card has no write-protect switch and
no equivalent software mechanism.
To write data (for example, translations) onto a memory card, the system software
first erases the memory card and writes the data. An erased bit can be written
again, but a written bit cannot be changed or written again until after the next
erasure. Software erase and write operations on a memory card take longer as
the card usage increases. A memory card that cannot be erased or written to by
software should be replaced.
Removing A Memory Card From The Slot
A memory card can be removed from the slot at the Processor circuit pack only
when the yellow/red LED with a label "EmgXfr/card-in-use" is not glowing.
Otherwise, the memory card operation might be interrupted abnormally, and the
files stored in the memory card may become corrupted.
Resolving an Alarm Raised Against a Memory
Card
The list that follows discusses the procedures for resolving an alarm that is raised
against a memory card:
1. Remove the inserted memory card from the slot at the Processor circuit
pack while the "EmgXfr/card-in-use" amber LED is not glowing.
2. Insert the new formatted memory card firmly into the slot at the Processor
circuit pack.
3. Use test card-mem to verify the new memory card.
4. If the alarm cannot be resolved by replacing the memory card, do the
following:
a. Remove the memory card from the Processor circuit pack.
b. Replace the Processor circuit pack. Follow the standard procedures.
c. Insert the memory card back into the slot at the Processor circuit
d. Use test network-control [long] to verify the new circuit pack and
5. Once the alarm is resolved, use save translation to store the current
system translations to the memory card.
6. If applicable, use save announcements to store the current
announcements to the memory card.
