5. If you are installing the CF card in an XCRP4 Controller card, close the door.
After insertion, the system automatically recognizes the CF card and begins to mount it. The CF Active
LED begins to blink. When the CF Active LED is unlit, you can begin using the CF card.

Installing an CF Card
Caution
Risk of equipment damage. Do not force the CF card into its slot. If the card does not slide in
easily, one of the following conditions is possible::
1. The card does not engage the connectors because it is mispositioned. Check the position
and alignment as described in step 3.
2. The card does not engage the connectors because it is upside down. Remove the card and
rotate it 180°; then try again.
3. The card has been previously damaged so that it cannot align correctly with the slot
connectors; remove the card and discard it. Do not use it in any other equipment.
4. The slot connectors have been bent or otherwise damaged by a previous card insertion; you
must replace the controller card.
Note
If the system cannot successfully mount the file system on the CF card (for example, the file
system is damaged or the card is unformatted), the CF Active LED stops blinking, becomes
unlit, and the system displays an error message on the console. You must enter the
format
media-device
command (in exec mode) to format the CF card and the
mount
command (in
exec mode) to mount it.
For more information about the
format media-device
and
mount
commands, see the
“Hardware Operations” chapter in the
Ports, Circuits, and Tunnels Operations Guide
for the
SmartEdge OS.
