When using a “serial shell” connection to a controller with SRAM, a special “alternative boot” option is available. A sub-option
allows you to reformat the onboard SRAM installed in the JACE.
You must be near the JACE to make this direct serial shell connection, and also be able to easily power it off and on as needed.
NOTE: In most cases the following reformat procedure will never be necessary. When shipped, SRAM is already properly formatted and
does not contain any stored data. This is true as well for models that have the installed SRAM option card. However, in rare
cases it may be necessary to reformat SRAM using this procedure.
