Section 2.8.3

Defragmenting the Flash File System

The flash memory is defragmented automatically whenever there is not enough memory available for a binary

upgrade. However, fragmentation can occur whenever a new file is uploaded to the unit. Fragmentation causes

sectors of available memory to become separated by ones allocated to files. In some cases, the total available

memory might be sufficient for a binary upgrade, but that memory may not be available in one contiguous region.
To defragment the flash memory, do the following:
1. Log in to the device as an admin user and access the CLI shell. For more information about accessing the CLI

shell, refer to 

 Section 2.6, “Using the Command Line Interface” 

.

2. Defragment the flash memory by typing:

flashfiles

 defrag

Section 2.9

Accessing BIST Mode

BIST (Built-In-Self-Test) mode is used by service technicians to test and configure internal functions of the device.

It should only be accessed for troubleshooting purposes.

CAUTION!

Mechanical hazard – risk of damage to the device. Excessive use of BIST functions may cause increase

wear on the device, which may void the warranty. Avoid using BIST functions unless instructed by a

Siemens Customer Support representative.

To access BIST mode, do the following:
