5.1.4 Battery monitoring
The installed backup battery has a service life of 5 years. The status can be checked with
two-tier battery monitoring. The information can be read via an I/O register and evaluated by
the DiagBase or DiagMonitor software.
When the first warning threshold is reached, the remaining service life of the battery for
buffering time and CMOS data is at least 1 month.
5.1.5 Mass storage monitoring
The state of HDD, SSD and CFast cards is monitored via SMART bit and reported by
DiagBase or DiagMonitor.
5.2 Unified Write Filter (UWF)
The Unified Write Filter is a configurable write filter that makes it possible to assign write-
protection to data storage media, such as hard disks, CFast cards, SSDs, internal USB
drives, or external SATA drives.
External removable data storage media such as USB sticks and other flash drives, which are
recognized by the operating system as a removable data storage medium, are not
supported.
UWF combines the advantages of older write filters such as EWF and FBWF. It prevents all
write access to protected media and transfers the data to buffer memory (overlay). This
increases the reliability and stability of the system as well as the service life of write-sensitive
media such as SSDs and CFast cards.
Note
UWF is disabled in the delivery state.
Note that memory is reduced when UWF is enabled.
NOTICE
Risk of data loss with enabled UWF
When UWF is enabled, all changes made to storage media with a UWF write protection
after booting can be lost when the device is shut down. Proceed as follows to prevent this
situation:
•
Make changes to storage media only when UWF is disabled.
