NVRAM Upload, Download
Uploading NVRAM Data to an SD Card
An SD card is used to upload and download NVRAM data.
• Data upload from NVRAM to SD card will fail if the machine serial number of the machine is not
registered with SP5811. The machine serial number should be set at the factory before shipping.
• NVRAM data can be uploaded from several machines and stored on the same SD card. A unique
filename is created automatically for each machine.
1. Enter the SP mode and do SP5990-2 to print an SMC report.
• Always print an SMC report before uploading NVRAM data, just in case the download of the
NVRAM data fails.
• If the download fails you can use the report to re-enter the SP and UP settings manually.
2. Turn the machine off.
3. Insert the SD card in Slot 2 (the bottom slot).
4. Turn the machine on.
5. Enter the SP mode and do SP5824.
6. Touch [OK] on the operation panel to start the upload. Data uploaded from NVRAM is stored in the
NVRAM folder on the card:
NVRAM\<Machine No.>.nv
• The upload automatically overwrites any file of the same name without warning.
Downloading NVRAM Data from an SD Card
• Downloading NVRAM data from an SD card may fail if the SD card is defective or if there is poor
connection between the controller and the BCU.
• If downloading NVRAM data from an SD card fails, just repeat the procedure.
• If the second attempt to download from the SD card fails, then you must enter the SP and UP settings
manually from the SMC report your printed before uploading the NVRAM data to the SD card.
1. Turn the machine off.
2. Insert the SD card to hold the NVRAM data in Slot 2.
