Downloading Stamp Data
„
Normally only needed after replacing the hard disks.
„
Must also be done during the machine’s installation
procedure.
„
Copy from the firmware using SP5853.
Service Manual, section 5.4.1
ˆ
Stamp data is on the hard disks. It is on both hard disks, and the data on each disk
must be exactly the same.
ˆ
New hard disks (spare parts) have no stamp data.
ˆ
If a hard disk breaks and must be replaced, both hard disks must be replaced, and the
stamp data must be copied back from the firmware onto the new hard disks.
ˆ
The stamp data is not copied from a card. It is part of the firmware and can be copied
onto the disks with SP 5853.
ˆ
Why not have the stamp data on the disks to begin with? Why do we have to copy it in
the field? The same types of disk may be used on different models, and the data
required for each model may not be the same.
