Formatting the PCMCIA Card or the Onboard Flash Memory (F5)
The name of the format button is different, depending on where you
are booting from—the onboard flash memory or the PCMCIA card.
Typically, you would boot from the onboard flash memory. If you
boot from the onboard flash memory, the name of the button is
Format PCMCIA Card. This button on the Memory Card Transfer
Application screen allows you to re-format a PCMCIA card that was
formatted with a non-PanelView 1000e, 1200e, or 1400e partition.
The card will be re-formatted with a single application partition.
If you are booting from the PCMCIA card, the name of the button is
Format Flash Memory. This button on the Memory Card Transfer
Application screen allows you to reclaim the onboard flash memory
for application file storage.
To format a PCMCIA card or the onboard flash memory:
Note: Make copies of application files you need to keep before you
format the destination. To do this, make the application file you want
to keep as the current application, and upload it from the terminal to
your computer. All data stored on the card or the flash memory will
be erased when you format.
1. In the PanelView Terminal Configuration screen, select Transfer
Application.
2. Select the Memory Card tab.
3. To format a PCMCIA card, be sure the card is in the PCMCIA
card socket. Select the Format PCMCIA Card button.
To format the onboard flash memory, select the Format Flash
Memory button.
