Chapter 2 Get Started
Secure Digital (SD) Card
The following switches can store its configuration in an SD card or internal
memory:
• Stratix 5700 and ArmorStratix 5700 switches have a slot for an optional
SD card. You must use the 1784-SD1 card available from Rockwell
Automation with the switches.
• Stratix 5400 and Stratix 5410 switches ship with an SD card, which
stores the initial configuration and firmware for the switches.
You can use the SD card instead of internal memory to do the following:
• Restore a switch configuration in case of failure.
• Duplicate configurations when you are deploying a new network.
• Synchronize the initial configuration and firmware of a Stratix 5400
switch to internal memory.
In general, the start method for the switch becomes the source for any changes
you make to the configuration. For example, if you start from the SD card, any
changes you make are saved to the SD card. If you start the switch from internal
memory, even if you insert an SD card while starting the system, changes are
saved to internal memory.
You can use Device Manager or the Logix Designer application to synchronize
the SD card for configuration and IOS updates. The configuration
synchronization process synchronizes config.text and vlan.dat from the source
to the destination. If other files, such as back-up configurations, are present on
the SD card, they are not synchronized.
If you start the switch from the SD card and then remove it while the switch is
running, the following conditions apply:
• Device Manager is no longer be accessible.
• Changes that are made by using the CLI or the AOP take effect, but are
not saved when the switch is restarted.
• If you reinsert the SD card into the slot, changes are not saved to the card
unless new changes are made. Then the entire configuration is saved to
the card.
ATTENTION: If a non-Rockwell SD card is used in Stratix switches, Rockwell
Automation reserves the right to withhold support.
ATTENTION: When synchronizing, be aware of your start-up source, so that
you know which way to synchronize. Device Manager provides this
information on the Manual Sync tab. If you synchronize in the wrong
direction, you can overwrite your desired configuration.
