Installing and Operating Passport ARN Routers

Protecting Memory Card Files

Nortel Networks ships each memory card with its read/write protect switch in the unprotected position (Figure 3-5). After successfully loading the configuration file and saving your configuration, you may want to write-protect the memory card for backup purposes.

Note: You typically do not operate the ARN with a write-protectedmemory card. You should make a copy of your configuration on another memory card, write-protect that card, and store it in a safe place.

To change memory card protection, complete the following steps:

1.Remove the memory card as described on page 3-13.

2.Adjust the read-write protect switch, which is located on the edge opposite the INSERT arrow of the memory card (Figure 3-5).
