Using the internal USB-A port

The RBRcervello has a USB interface for retrieving data from the unit and for installing firmware and configuration updates. It is compatible with FAT32-formatted or exFAT-formatted USB flash drives. Bus-powered hard drives are not recommended as the RBRcervello may not provide sufficient power.

To retrieve data from the RBRcervello, connect the USB storage device to its USB-A port while it is powered on and awake. All data will be copied from the data controller to the storage device. During data transfer, the red light on the RBRcervello will flash steadily. Once all data are transferred, the red light will cease flashing and the green light will turn on. At that point, the storage device may be disconnected safely. The green light will turn off after disconnecting the device.
