Internal Flash Memory

The CPU blade can be equipped with Internal Flash Memory (USB memory embedded card) that contains
information of EXPRESSBUILDER.

Use the connector for Internal Flash Memory on CPU blade to install Internal Flash Memory. (The connector
for Internal Flash Memory is factory-installed on CPU blade.)

Important Internal Flash Memory is extremely sensitive to static electricity. Be sure to touch

the metal frame of the server to discharge static electricity from your body before

handling the Internal Flash Memory. Do not touch the terminals or parts of Internal

Flash Memory with bare hand or place the Internal Flash Memory directly on the

desk. For static notes, refer to “Handling precautions (for Anti-static Measures)”.
