Data Storage Device (Memory)
The SVMi-8E/SVMi-16E is available with two different types of data storage devices, Hard Drive and Compact Flash
units. Only one or the other can be used on a single system. Both device types are used for storing the main sys-
tem program as well as all messages, and prompts. The amount of storage time is determined by the size of the
drive measured in Mega Bytes (MB).
Hard Drive
The current Hard Drive provides approximately 140 hours of message storage. The hard drive for the SVMi-
8E/SVMi-16E card is available only from SAMSUNG.
The Hard Disk Drive can be removed or replaced in the event of a problem or upgrade. It is held in place on the
SBC by 4 screws.
The Hard Disk Drive is connected to the SBC with a ribbon cable. Note that the connector on the Hard Drive has
4 extra pins on the end of the connector. Do not use these pins.
Compact Flash
The Compact Flash is used in the same way as the Hard Drive and is also only available from SAMSUNG. The cur-
rent Compact Flash on the SVMi-8E provides approximately 15 hours of message storage. On the SVMi-16E the
Compact Flash provides approximately 15 hours of message storage. One of the benefits of using the Compact
Flash is that it can be removed from the System for archiving data purposes.
Systems must be properly shut down and off before removing the Compact Flash card from the SVMi-8E/SVMi-
16E.
