Complete these steps to reinstall an SD card that has been removed from the
controller back into the controller or to install a new SD card into the

We recommend that you leave the SD card in the controller, even when it is not
used. If the controller experiences a Major Non-recoverable Fault, extended
fault information is saved to the card.
1. Verify that the SD card is locked or unlocked according to your
preference. Consider the following when deciding to lock the card

electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location
installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
