appears and you can continue by downloading your project to the

Use the Secure Digital Card to Load Firmware
You can use an installed SD card to load firmware on a CompactLogix 5370
controller. If you use the SD card to load firmware, it eliminates the need for
software to complete this task.
Your application requires the following to load firmware from an SD card at
power-up:
• You must have saved the project to the SD card before the power cycle.
• The firmware revision in the project that is stored on the SD card differs
from the firmware revision on the CompactLogix 5370 controller.
For more information on how to use the SD card, see Chapter 12, Use a Secure
Digital Card on page 297.
IMPORTANT An installed SD card automatically updates the firmware of the controller if
the SD card is configured with the Load Image parameter set to On Power
Up. This feature is and cannot be disabled.
