Creating a backup copy of the CPU firmware on the MMC
Table 9-1 Firmware backup to MMC
Step Action required: This happens in the CPU:
1. Insert a new micro memory card into the
CPU
The CPU requests memory reset
2. Turn the mode selector switch to MRES
position and hold it there.
-
3. POWER OFF / POWER ON. Hold the
mode selector switch in MRES position
until ...
... the STOP, RUN and FRCE LEDs start
flashing.
4. Mode selector switch to STOP. -
5. Mode selector switch briefly to MRES
position, then let it return to STOP.
• CPU starts backing up operating system
on the MMC.
• All LEDs are lit during the backup
operation.
• The STOP LED flashes when the backup
is complete to indicate that the CPU
requires a memory reset.
6. Remove the Micro Memory Card. -
