Installing or Removing an External Compact Flash Memory Card

Installing or Removing an External Compact Flash

Memory Card

You do not need to power off the system or remove the MSM from the chassis to install or remove an external compact flash memory card.

You need an ESD-preventive wrist strap to install a compact flash memory card.

To install the memory card:

1Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect the metal end to the ground receptacle on the chassis front panel.

2Locate the compact flash slot on the MSM, as shown in Figure 72.

3Hold the memory card between your thumb and forefinger, with the ridge facing toward the bottom of the chassis.

4Slide the card into the compact flash slot until you feel resistance.; a portion of the card will protrude from the slot.

5Carefully push the card until it is seated into the slot. The card should be fully inserted, or seated, inside the slot.

6To verify that the card is fully seated, use the show memorycard command.

To remove the external compact flash memory card:

1Use the eject memorycard command to ensure that you will not lose any data when you remove the card.

After you use the eject memorycard command, you can physically remove the card from the external compact flash slot on the MSM. For more information about the eject memorycard command, see the ExtremeXOS 12.0 Concepts Guide.

2Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect the metal end of the strap to the ground receptacle on the chassis front panel.

3Locate the black release pin just above the compact flash slot.

4Press the release pin until the card releases from the slot.

The card releases to an intermediate position; the card remains partially inserted but is no longer seated in the slot.

5Remove the card completely and place it in a safe location.
