Chapter 3 Installing the Router
Using Flash Memory Cards in the RP
To format a new Flash memory card, follow these steps:
Step 1 Insert the Flash memory card into slot 0 or slot 1 on the RP. (This example uses slot 0.)
Step 2 Enter the format slot0: command at the privileged EXEC mode prompt on the system console:
Router# format slot0:
All sectors will be erased, proceed? [confirm]
Enter volume id (up to 30 characters): MyNewCard
Formatting sector n
Format device slot0 completed
Router#
The console displays the “Formatting sector n” line in the sample output shown above. When the count reaches 1, the formatting process is complete and the new Flash memory card is ready for use.
