CompactFlash cards for the user (only for hardware descriptions)
• The SINUMERIK CNC supports the file systems FAT16 and FAT32 for Com-
pactFlash cards. You may need to format the memory card if you want to use
a memory card from another device or if you want to ensure the compatibility
of the memory card with the SINUMERIK. However, formatting the memory
card will permanently delete all data on it.
• Do not remove the memory card while it is being accessed. This can result in
damage to the memory card and the SINUMERIK as well as the data on the
memory card.
• If you cannot use a memory card with the SINUMERIK, it is probably because
the memory card is not formatted for the control system (e.g. Ext3 Linux file
system), the memory card file system is faulty or it is the wrong type of memory
card.
• Insert the memory card carefully and the right way round into the memory card
slot (observe indicators such as arrow or similar). This way you avoid mecha-
nical damage to the memory card or the device.
• Only use memory cards that have been approved by Siemens for use with
SINUMERIK. Even though the SINUMERIK complies with the general industry
standards for memory cards, it is possible that memory cards from some
manufacturers will not function perfectly in this device or are not completely
compatible with it (you can obtain information on compatibility from the
memory card manufacturer or supplier).
• The "CompactFlash® 5000 Industrial Grade" CompactFlash card from San-
Disk has been approved for SINUMERIK (Order Number 6FC5313-5AG00-
0AA0).
