External Flash Memory Card Overview

Each RPM card is designed with a slot to accommodate an external flash memory card (slot0:). You can use a flash card to copy the image and configuration files for storage and backup purposes. For complex configurations, use the copies for other E1200i systems in your network. Configure your boot execution process to use the images stored on a flash card as the primary (active), secondary (standby), or default boot order preference. Optional external flash memory cards are shipped blank.

Inserting the External Flash Memory Card

Note: Only insert the external flash before system boot or after the system has completed its boot and is run-time mode.
