FM 456-2 Application Function Module Installation, Hardware, and Startup
C79000-G7076-C458-01
Drive Assignment and Boot Sequence
The memory card is addressed by the operating system in the same way as a
conventional drive.
The drive assignment and the boot sequence can be set in the BIOS setup (see
chapter on central processing units for M7-400, BIOS setup of the
reference
manual /1/
.
Formatting
Memory cards can be formatted with PG/PC or M7-400. Read the relevant
sections in the
M7-SYS /2/
user manual.
Note
The memory capacity specified for the memory card is the actual physical memory
capacity (gross). Formatting reduces the gross memory capacity to approximately
80% (net) that is then available to the operating system for storing data/programs.
UNDELETE:
Files which were deleted from the memory card cannot be restored using
UNDELETE programs.
4.6 Expansion Socket
The FM 456-2 application function module is provided with an expansion socket,
allowing you to connect up to three M7-400 expansion modules. The ISA bus is
extended via the expansion socket.
Which Expansion Modules Can Be Connected?
One EXM 478 extension module with up to three interface submodules, one
MSM 478 mass storage module with diskette and hard disk drive or one ATM 478
AT adapter module for short AT cards can be connected directly to the FM 456-2
application function module.
A total of up to 3 expansions can be connected in series to the CPU.
If three EXM 478 expansion modules are connected, up to 11 interface modules
can be operated together with the slots on the relevant application function
module.
Assembly Rules
The rules for the sequence of assembly and the possible combinations of
expansion modules can be found in the chapter “M7-400 Expansion Modules” in
manual /1/
.
