CHAPTER 8 Partition

8.2

Partition Configuration Definition

In the initial state, the entire unit is defined as one partition. To change the
configuration of the partition, define the partition by using the MMB Web-UI.

To do this, first, create a partition having a specific partition ID (PartitionName) , and
then register SBs and IO_Units belonging to the partition on the [Partition
Configuration] screen of the MMB Web-UI.

For information on the setting procedure, see the

PRIMEQUEST 480/440 Installation

Manual

(C122-E001EN).
