Installing the Flash Memory Card in a RP

If there are dual RPs, the PCMCIA slots in the primary RP are designated slot 0 and slot 1. If there is a second RP, the PCMCIA slots in the second RP are designated sec-slot 0 and sec-slot 1. PCMCIA slot 0 is the bottom slot and slot 1 is the top slot. Both Flash memory card slots on each RP can be used at the same time. The following generic procedure can be used to install a Flash memory card in either slot position.

Step 1 Facing the RP faceplate, hold the Flash memory card with the connector end of the card toward the slot and the label facing up. (See Figure 3-10 on page 3-21.)

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.
