Replacing the Management Module

Compact Flash Card

The Compact Flash card is the primary non-volatile storage medium located on the management module that contains both the boot software and configuration files. When a Flash card fails the Flash status LED on the management module will blink simultaneously with the switch Fault LED.

Installing a Compact Flash Card

To install (or replace) a Compact Flash card:

1.Using either a flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screwdriver loosen the retaining screws securing the management module. (You cannot access the Compact Flash when the management module is installed. This prevents inadvertent removal of the system image while the system is running.)

2.Using the extractor handles, pull the management module out from the slot.
