CHAPTER 13: SERVICING THE D400
Changing the CompactFlash
CompactFlash cards are designed with flash technology, a non-volatile storage solution
that can retain data indefinitely without a battery. The cards are solid state, meaning they
contain no moving parts, and provide much greater protection of data than conventional
magnetic disk drives.
The D400 contains two CompactFlash cards on the main board to store software and data:
• Main CompactFlash card located at connector P2 stores system firmware
• User CompactFlash card located at connector P1 is accessible from the front panel
and stores system data such as event logs
650 MHz and 1.0 GHz
D400 main processors
Use the following Industrial Temp CompactFlash cards for 650 MHz and 1.0 GHz D400
main processors:
• GE part number: 160-0125 (1 GB Industrial Temp CompactFlash)
for the Main or User CompactFlash.
(Used on 520-0204/520-0205/520-0205LF/520-0232LF main boards)
• GE part number: 160-0124 (16 GB Industrial Temp CompactFlash)
for the User CompactFlash
CompactFlash cards from a D400 1.0 GHz main board are not compatible with a D400
1.6
GHz main board,
D400 1.0 GHz CompactFlash cards can be identified by the absence of “1.6GHz+” text on
the CompactFlash label.
1.6 GHz D400 main
processor
Use the following Industrial Temp CompactFlash cards for the 1.6 GHz D400 main
processor:
• GE part number: 160-0141 (1 GB Industrial Temp CompactFlash, DMA Access) for the
Main or User CompactFlash (Used on 520-0232LF - RoHS compliant main board)
• GE part number: 160-0142 (16 GB Industrial Temp CompactFlash, DMA Access) for the
User CompactFlash (Used on 520-0232LF - RoHS compliant main board)
CompactFlash cards from a D400 1.6 GHz main module are not compatible with a D400
1.0
GHz main module.
D400 1.6 GHz CompactFlash cards can be identified by the “1.6GHz+” text on the
CompactFlash label.
To change the Main
CompactFlash card
1. Power down the D400.
2. Remove the D400 main module from the chassis. See “Removing the D400 main
