Removing and Installing CompactFlash Cards
The supervisor module has one slot for an optional CompactFlash card. You can use this slot to install additional flash memory for storing and running software images and configuration files, or to serve as an I/O device.
Caution Only use CompactFlash devices that are certified for use with Cisco MDS switches and are formatted using Cisco MDS switches. Using CompactFlash devices that are uncertified or are formatted using other platforms may result in errors. For information on formatting the external CompactFlash, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide or the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide.
You can install and remove the CompactFlash card with the switch powered on.
Caution Do not remove the CompactFlash card while the access LED light is on or the file may be corrupted.
This section describes how to install and remove a CompactFlash card. For additional information about the CompactFlash card, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide or the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide.

Step 1 Verify that no operations are in progress by verifying that the LED is off.
