8.3.1 Removing/inserting the SIMATIC memory card
Requirements
The CPU only supports pre-formatted SIMATIC memory cards. As applicable, delete all
previously stored data before using the SIMATIC memory card. Additional information about
deleting the contents of the SIMATIC memory card can be found in the section, SIMATIC
memory
c
ard - overview (Page 135).
In order to work
with the SIMATIC memory card, first ensure that the SIMATIC memory card
is not write-protected. For this purpose, slide the slider out of the lock position.
Insertion of the SIMATIC memory card
1. Open the front cover of the CPU.
2. Ensure that the CPU is either switched off, or in the STOP mode.
3. Insert the SIMATIC memory card, as depicted on the CPU, into the slot for the SIMATIC
memory card.
Figure 8-1 Slot for the SIMATIC memory card
4. Insert the SIMATIC memory card with light pressure into the CPU, until the SIMATIC
memory card latches.
Removal of the SIMATIC memory card
1. Open the front cover.
2. Switch the CPU into STOP mode.
3. Press the SIMATIC memory card into the CPU with light pressure. After audible
unlatching of the SIMATIC memory card, remove it.
