Handling the Micro SD Card

When handling the micro SD card, observe the following precautions to help prevent the corruption or loss of internal data, or the malfunction of a micro SD card.

NOTICE
Loss of Application Data Backup SD card data regularly. Do not remove power, reset the controller, or remove the SD card while it is being accessed. Orient the SD card correctly when inserting it into the controller. Use only micro SD cards formatted using FAT32. Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

When using TeSys island and a micro SD card, observe the following precautions to help avoid data loss.

Accidental data loss can occur at any time. Once data is lost it cannot be recovered. Backup the SD card data regularly.
If you forcibly extract the micro SD card, data on the micro SD card may become corrupt.
Removing a micro SD card that is being accessed could damage the micro SD card, or corrupt its data.
If the micro SD card is not positioned correctly when inserted into the controller, the data on the card and the bus coupler could become damaged.
If you are updating the TeSys island firmware, be sure to update the SD card backup also.
