Chapter 4 Performing a Basic Configuration of the System

Using the Flash Memory Cards in the RSPs

A Flash memory card can be inserted and removed with the system power on. Both PC Card slots can be used at the same time.

The following procedure is generic, and can be used for a Flash memory card in either slot position.

Use the following procedure to install and remove a Flash memory card:

Step 1 Face the front panel of the RSP, which should appear as shown in Figure 4-1a or Figure 4-2a, and hold the Flash memory card with the connector end of the card toward the slot.

In an RSP2, RSP4, or RSP8, the label should face right, with the Flash memory card positioned as shown in Figure 4-1or Figure 4-2.

Note The Flash memory card is keyed and cannot be seated the wrong way. The ejector button will not pop out if the card is not properly inserted.

Step 2 Insert the card into the appropriate slot until the card completely seats in the connector at the back of the slot and the ejector button pops out toward you.

Step 3 Note that the card does not insert all the way inside the RSP; a portion of the card remains outside of the slot. Do not attempt to force the card past this point.

Step 4 To eject the card, press the appropriate ejector button until the card is free of the connector at the back of the slot.

Step 5 Remove the card from the slot and place it in an antistatic bag to protect it.
