MMC Plugged During Operation

What does A00564 mean?

This alarm occurs when an MMC-PS (Multi Media Card) is inserted into the drive while it is operating, especially if no card was present at startup. This action can potentially corrupt the drive's current parameter dataset upon the next power cycle if automatic cloning at startup is enabled, leading to incorrect drive configuration.

• A Multi Media Card (MMC) or SD card was inserted into the drive's slot while the drive was powered on and actively running.
• The MMC was not fully seated or was partially removed and reinserted during operation, causing a transient contact.
• Accidental insertion of an incompatible or faulty memory card into the drive's slot.
• Dust or debris in the MMC slot causing momentary contact issues or preventing proper seating of the card.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   1. Immediately power down the drive completely (remove all AC/DC power).

2. 2

   2. Carefully remove the MMC from the slot, inspect it for damage, and clean the card and slot if necessary.

3. 3

   3. Reinsert the MMC correctly (if required for operation) and then reapply power to the drive.

4. 4

   4. Verify parameters stored on the MMC are still valid and not corrupted; consider restoring parameters from a backup if issues persist.

5. 5

   5. Ensure operational personnel are aware of the procedure for handling memory cards, stressing that insertion/removal should only occur when the drive is powered off.
