Installing a CompactFlash Memory Card

An optional CompactFlash (CF) memory card provides additional non-volatile storage capabilities in 8, 16, 32, or 64 Mbyte increments. The CF’s controller interfaces with a host system allowing data to be written to and read from the CF’s flash memory module. The XSR supports Type I and II CompactFlash card types. Refer to Figure 2-6for a generic illustration of the card.

The CF’s memory is large enough to store image files. You can do so simply by using the Bootrom Monitor mode copy command. For example, to copy a file from the Onboard flash: directory to the cflash: directory while in the flash: directory, enter:

XSR>copy <source_name> cflash:<destination_name>
