Product Overview

Soft Reset Switch

A soft reset switch provides a reset to the processor software on the PRP. You access the soft reset switch through a small opening in the PRP faceplate. To depress the switch, insert a paper clip or a similar object into the opening.

Caution The soft reset switch is not a mechanism for resetting the PRP and reloading the IOS image. It is intended for software development use. To prevent system problems or loss of data, use the soft reset switch only on the advice of Cisco service personnel.

Flash Disk Slots

The PRP includes two Flash disk slots on the front panel of the card. Either slot on the PRP-1 can support an ATA Flash disk or a linear Flash memory card. The Flash disk slots on the PRP-2 can only support ATA Flash disks.

Note The PRP only supports +5 VDC Flash disk devices. It does not support +3.3 VDC Flash disk devices.

All combinations of different Flash devices are supported by the PRP-1. You can use ATA Flash disks, linear Flash memory cards, or a combination of the two.

Each Flash disk slot has an ejector button for ejecting a card from the slot. See the “Using Flash Disks in the PRP” section on page 61 for more information.

Note Linear Flash memory cards may not have the capacity to meet the requirements of your configuration. However, they can be used for emergency file recovery applications.
