Before you begin, please note:

  • Uploading NVRAM contents to an SD card will fail if the machine serial number of the machine is not registered with SP5811.
  • The machine serial number is set at the factory before shipping.
  • NVRAM data can be uploaded from several machines and stored on the same SD card because a unique filename is created automatically for each machine.
  1. Enter the SP mode and do SP5990-2 to print an SMC report.
    • Always print an SMC report before uploading NVRAM data, just in case the download of the NVRAM data fails.
    • If the download fails, you can use the report to re-enter the SP and UP settings manually.
  2. Turn the machine off.
  3. Remove the SD slot cover.
  4. Insert the SD card in Slot 2 [A].
  5. Turn the machine on.
  6. Enter the SP mode and do SP5824 (NVRAM Data Upload).
  7. Touch [EXECUTE] on the operation panel to start the upload.
    • Data uploaded from NVRAM is stored in a file in the NVRAM folder created on the on the card: NVRAM folder> D179*.nv
      where D179*.nv is the number of the machine entered at the factory before shipping. The number will be unique for each machine.
    • If this upload is done with the NVRAM folder and file from a previous upload is stored on the SD card, the folder and file will be overwritten. (A new directory and file are not created.)
