5. Insert the new flash card received from Citrix.

6.Turn on the NetScaler appliance.

When the appliance starts, it no longer has the previous working configuration. Therefore, the appliance is reachable only through the default IP address of 192.168.100.1/16, or through the console port.

7.Log on to the default IP address by using a web browser, or connect to the serial console by using a console cable, to perform the initial configuration.

8.Upload a platform license and any optional feature licenses, including universal licenses, to the NetScaler appliance. For more information, see the licensing chapter of the "Citrix NetScaler Getting Started Guide."

9.Once the correct NetScaler software version is loaded, you can restore the working configuration. Copy a previous version of the ns.conf file to the /nsconfig directory by using an SCP utility or by pasting the previous configuration into the /nsconfig/ ns.conf file from the NetScaler command prompt. To load the new ns.conf file, restart the NetScaler appliance by entering the reboot command at the NetScaler command prompt.
