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 SSR 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 SSR. You cannot install or remove a PCMCIA card while the SSR is
running.
2.
Insert the PCMCIA card into either of the slots on the Control Module. You can choose
either slot.
Note:
Even though there are two slots on the Control Module, you cannot use two
PCMCIA flash cards at the same time.
3.
Lock the PCMCIA card into the slot by pushing the PCMCIA card all the way into the
slot.
4.
Power on the SSR. (See
“Powering On and Booting the Software” on page 83
.)
5.
To verify proper installation of the PCMCIA card, do one of the following:
–
Reboot the system and watch the boot messages for the messages shown in bold
type in the following example:
