Do the following procedure to upload SP code settings from NVRAM to an SD card.

  • This data should always be uploaded to an SD card before the NVRAM is replaced.
  • Make sure that the write protection of an SD card is unlocked.

  1. Do SP5-990-001 (SP Print Mode: All (Data List)) before you switch the machine off. You will need a record of the NVRAM settings if the upload fails.
    Make sure to shut down and reboot the machine once before printing the SMC. Otherwise, the latest settings may not be collected when the SMC is printed.
  2. Turn OFF the main power.
  3. Remove the SD card slot cover [A].
  4. Insert the SD card in Service Slot [A: Lower Slot].
  5. Turn ON the main power.
  6. Execute SP5-824-001 (NVRAM Data Upload) and then press the "Execute" key.
  7. The following files are copied to an NVRAM folder on the SD card when the upload procedure is finished. The file is saved to the path and the following filename:
    NVRAM\<serial number>.NV
    Here is an example with Serial Number "K5000017114":
    NVRAM\K5000017114.NV

  8. In order to prevent an error during the download, be sure to mark the SD card that holds the uploaded data with the number of the machine from which the data was uploaded.

    • You can upload NVRAM data from more than one machine to the same SD card.
