Installing a CompactFlash Memory Card

2.Seat the card in the PCMCIA interface as shown in Figure 2-8.

Gently insert the CF into the slot, taking care that the CF’s wider grooved edge fits into the wider track of the PCMCIA interface. If the card does not seat easily but stops halfway into the slot, do not force it in - the card was inserted incorrectly. Flip it over and re-insert. Note that the XSR’s CF eject mechanism pops out for easy removal when you install the card. Also, you can re-attach the cover after the CF card is installed for added security.

CompactFlash Card for the ADSL NIM

The ADSL NIM is shipped with a CompactFlash card carrying the DSP firmware necessary for connecting to a DSAM. Refer to Figure 2-13for an illustration and installation instructions.

Formatting the CompactFlash Card

If your CF is not formatted, there are two ways you can format the card:

Use the XSR Bootrom Monitor Mode ffc command. A few seconds after you boot up the XSR, press the CTRL-Ckeys and a password prompt will appear. Press ENTER (factory default) if you have not defined any password. The Bootrom Monitor Mode will appear. Enter ffc and the router will complete the formatting.

Install the CF in a PCMCIA card and enter the Windows format command. For further instructions, refer to Windows documentation.

After completing CF formatting via Bootrom Monitor Mode, use the bc command to restart the XSR in normal mode.
