    Then, the Memory Operation Mode and Reserved SB are set as needed. FIGURE 5.3 [Partition Configuration] screen For details on the setup procedure, see the “PRIMEQUEST 2000 Series Tool Reference” (C122-E177EN). Remarks The changes in the partition configuration are applied in the each partition unit when power cycled. The changes are not applied when rebooting the partition.
