Using Flash Memory Cards

The Flash memory (PCMCIA) card slots on the front panel of the RSP7000 are for additional

PCMCIA-based Flash memory for your system. You can use this Flash memory to store and run

Cisco IOS images, or as a ﬁle server for other routers to access as clients. Occasionally, it might be

necessary to remove and replace Flash memory cards; however, removing Flash memory cards is not

required and is not recommended after the cards are installed in the slots.

Note The RSP7000 is oriented horizontally in the Cisco 7010.
