Common causes for failing the Memory Card Match Test (#697) are:
■ The customer has had a recent upgrade and is using an old card.
■ The card is not formatted for announcements.
Always use 4 MB memory Cards, 10 MB memory cards should only be used
when a 4MB card gives an error in the CAP-MEM Maintenance Object Test #1014
(Memory Card Capacity Test). 10 MB cards must also be used if a DEFINITY
Wireless Business System is connected.
A memory card has a write-protect switch along its edge. If the write-protect
switch is enabled, the memory card cannot be written to.
The 12-volt power supply unit located in Processor circuit pack supports the
erase and write operations of on-board flash memory devices. The unit also
supports the memory card inserted in the Processor circuit pack. If the 12 volt
power supply unit cannot be turned on to supply 12 volts, all erase and write
operations fail. Refer to 12V-PWR (12 volt power supply) Maintenance
documentation for a detailed description.
To write data (for example, translations) onto a memory card, the system software
first erases the memory card and then writes the data. An erased bit can be
written again, but a written bit cannot be changed or written again until after the
next erasure. Software erase and write operations on a memory card take longer
as the card usage increases. A memory card that cannot be erased or written to
by software should be replaced.
Removing A Memory Card From The Slot
A memory card can be removed from the slot at the Processor circuit pack only
when the yellow/red LED with a label "EmgXfr/card-in-use" is not glowing.
Otherwise, the memory card operation might be interrupted abnormally, and the
files stored in the memory card may become corrupted.
Resolving an Alarm Raised Against a Memory
Card
The list that follows discusses the procedures for resolving an alarm that is raised
against a memory card:
1. Remove the inserted memory card from the slot at the Processor circuit
pack while the "EmgXfr/card-in-use" amber LED is not glowing.
2. Insert the new formatted memory card firmly into the slot at the Processor
circuit pack.
3. Enter the
test card-mem
command to verify the new memory card.
4. If the alarm cannot be resolved by replacing the memory card, do the
following:
