Appendix B Boot Manager FCD-IPM Installation and Operation Manual
B-4 The Boot Manager Menu
Run Backup Partition
Select this option to run the program stored in the backup partition of the Flash
memory. Normally that program is the previous software version.
The “backup” program runs once. The next hardware reset or Boot will run the
program stored in the active partition.
Reactivate Backup Partition
Select this option to turn the backup partition into the active partition (and vice
versa). In this way you can return to the previous software version permanently.
This command may be executed up to 16 times, after which downloading of the
new software will be required. Therefore avoid using this option for a one-time run
of the old version (use the Run Backup Partition option for that purpose).
Duplicate Active Partition
Select this option to duplicate the program stored in the active partition into the
backup partition.
Erase Configuration
Select this option to erase the device configuration parameters. The device
configuration parameters are also stored in the flash memory. Sometimes these
configuration parameters are needed after downloading a new version of Boot
Manager. When the new version's parameter set is not fully compatible with the
previous version's parameters, then you need to erase the previous version's
parameters. You can also use this command to set the device to the default
settings. The Erase Configuration command is also useful if you forget the
password.
Erase All FLASH
Select this option to erase the device configuration parameters, and the programs
stored in both partitions. Remember to download new software before attempting
to operate the device.
