MicroSD card installation and removal

Loss of data MicroSD cards are subjected to heavy load during operation and have to withstand many write cycles and extreme ambient conditions. MicroSD cards from other manufacturer may fail, resulting in data loss. Only use industrial MicroSD cards provided by Beckhoff.

The card for the operating system must be inserted in the upper slot (Slot 1). The lower slot (Slot 2) is intended for a further MicroSD card. Data or additional programs can be stored here.

The eject mechanism is based on the push/push principle. The installation and removal of the MicroSD cards is illustrated in the following.

Requirements:

• The Embedded PC must be switched off. The MicroSD cards may only be installed or removed when the Embedded PC is switched off.

Removing the MicroSD card

1. Gently push the MicroSD card.
   A soft click can be heard when the card is released.
   
2. The card is lifted by approx. 2-3 mm from the housing. Pull out the card.
