Backing Up Setting Data To Fd - Canon CXDI-50G Service Manual

(15) Backing up Setting Data to FD

1) Purpose
"Important setting data (setting information which differs for each customer.)" is
backed up to floppy disks and hard disks in consideration of possible setting data loss,
hard disk corruption or other data errors.
In the event that setting data is lost or the hard disk is corrupted, this "Important setting
data" can be quickly restored to the condition before the trouble occurred by copying
from the backup data.
2) Notes
2-1) Performing this backup work means that the CXDI system will be used with the
floppy disk inserted in the floppy disk drive.
Be sure to eject the floppy disk from floppy disk drive in order to avoid damaging it,
in case of changing the layout or moving the control PC.
Likewise, when mounting the system in a vehicle, vibrations may cause damage to the
floppy disk drive.
Therefore, after backing up the latest data to the floppy disk, be sure to eject the
floppy disk.
2-2) Based on the reason in note 1) above, do not perform backups in an environment that
is exposed to vibrations. Therefore, never perform backups when the control PC is
loaded in a car.
In V4.0 and later versions, the default FD-Buck Up setting is ON. When backup to a
floppy disk is not allowed, set it to OFF.
2-3) In the product default settings, "Boot/1. Removable Device" in the system BIOS
settings is set to "Disabled". However, as a precaution, check that "Boot/1.
Removable Device" is actually set to "Disabled". If the setting is changed to "Legacy
Floppy", the control PC may not start properly when a floppy disk is inserted.
For more information, see "System BIOS Settings"
2-4) Be sure to always format the floppy disk that you are using before performing
backups.
2-5) The backup procedure described here covers the case when backing up for the first
time after installation. For the second and subsequent times, data is automatically
backed up to the floppy disk whenever the user changes the exposure mode buttons or
other settings.
2-6) This backup procedure cannot be performed with just the control PC. Connect the
imaging units and other equipment, and start up in the normal exposure status.
3) Procedure
3-1) Remove the left side cover of the control PC.
3-2) Insert a formatted floppy disk (1.44 MB) in the floppy disk drive.
* Make sure the write protect of the floppy disk is unlocked at this time.
3-3) Reattach the left side cover of the control PC.
3-4) Start up the CXDI system. If you have changed the parameters including the exposure
mode button, back up all "ini.files" to a floppy disk when you restart the system again.
* When you first back up the files, the back up operation may take some time because
there are many files to be copied.
3-5) Make sure that all files have been copied and switch off the CXDI system.
The files copied to a floppy disk are the "C:\ccrbup", and they are the latest backup
data. If the data stored in the drive D is damaged and there is no trouble in the drive C,
restore the CXDI setting data using the data in "C:\ccrbup".
