CompactFlash Disks are smaller in size than Type 2 Flash Disks but provide the same Attachment (ATA) interface and equivalent functionality. This interface complies with the ANSI ATA Interface Document X3T13.1153 D Rev. 9 specification. CompactFlash Disks provide from 64 MB to 256 MB of storage space.
The CompactFlash Disk has controller circuitry that allows it to emulate a hard disk and automatically maps out bad blocks and performs automatic block erasure. The CompactFlash Disk also provides the capability to allocate noncontiguous sectors, which eliminates the need for the squeeze command (which was required with
The CompactFlash Disk also supports the Cisco IOS File System feature, which provides a single interface to all of the router’s file systems, including the Flash Disks and flash memory, as well as network file systems such as File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and Trivial FTP (TFTP) servers.

Step 1 Attach an ESD wrist or ankle strap, connecting the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.
Step 2 Orient the CompactFlash Disk so that its connector end faces the appropriate slot. (See 1 in Figure
