Installing a PCMCIA Flash Card

Installing a PCMCIA Flash Card

The control module PCMCIA flash card contains a version of the system image software that is installed at the factory. If you have a more recent system image and want to boot the X-Pedition using the newer software, you must boot either from a PCMCIA card or from a TFTP server.

To install a PCMCIA card:

1.Power off the X-Pedition.

Cautions: Do NOT install or remove a PCMCIA card while the X-Pedition is running.

2. Insert the PCMCIA card into the upper slot on the control module, pressing firmly to ensure that the card is fully seated.
