CompactFlash Cards
●Do not remove the memory card while it is being accessed. This can lead to damage of
the memory card and the SINUMERIK as well as the data on the 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 mechanical damage to
the memory card or the device.
●Only use memory cards that have been approved by Siemens for use with SINUMERIK.
Even though SINUMERIK follows 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).
●For further information on handling CompactFlash cards, please refer to the NCU
manuals.
