CARD-MEM (Memory Card)
A memory card contains a set of flash EPROM memory devices. The data can be
stored in a memory card and can remain nonvolatile, even when the power is off.
The memory card is installed into the TN777B NETCON circuit pack to save the
translations, announcements, and core dumps. During the system reboot or a
system power down condition, the in-core system maintenance hardware error
logs are temporarily saved in the memory card before the system goes down.
When the system is restarted, the error logs file is read back from the memory
card.
The Hard Patch feature also uses the memory card as temporary storage when
LMM applies an update file to the in-core system software. The system software
is stored in the "flash" section of main memory. The memory card used for saving
translations doesn’t contain a copy of the system software.
The recommended size of a memory card for each configuration is described in
the following table.
Customers can have either 1 MB, 4 MB, or 10 MB memory cards for the normal
operations. 10 MB memory cards are also used for maintenance and software
upgrades. The software upgrade memory card cannot be used for saving
translations.
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).
1. The "MAJOR" alarm occurs only at power-up time or on a Reset System 3, 4, or 5
when the switch cannot load all translations from the memory card.
