How to Install or Remove a PCMCIA Card

Troubleshooting the PLIM

If the installed or replaced PLIM fails to operate or to power up on installation:

Make sure that the PLIM is seated firmly in the Cisco CRS-1 4-slot line card chassis slot. One easy way to verify physical installation is to see whether the front faceplate of the PLIM is even with the fronts of the other PLIMs installed in the card cage.

Check whether the ejector levers are latched and that the captive screws are fastened properly. If you are uncertain, unlatch the levers, loosen the screws, and attempt to reseat the PLIM.

Examine the alarm LEDs on the RP to see if there are any active alarm conditions.

Examine the power shelves to see whether the chassis, as a whole, is receiving power.

Removing an RP PCMCIA Card

Optional and replaceable PCMCIA cards are available for the RP cards. The RP cards provide two PCMCIA flash slots, each card providing up to 1 GB of flash storage. One of the PCMCIA flash subsystems is accessible externally, is removable, and allows you to transfer system images and configurations by plugging in a PCMCIA flash card. The other subsystem is fixed to the RP, is not removable, and is used for permanent storage of configurations and system images.
