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:
1 Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect the metal end to the ground
receptacle on the chassis front panel.
2 Locate the compact flash slot on the MSM, as shown in Figure 72 .

3 Hold the memory card between your thumb and forefinger, with the ridge facing toward the bottom
of the chassis.
4 Slide the card into the compact flash slot until you feel resistance.; a portion of the card will protrude
from the slot.
5 Carefully push the card until it is seated into the slot. The card should be fully inserted, or seated,
inside the slot.
6 To verify that the card is fully seated, use the
show memorycard
command.
To remove the external compact flash memory card:
1 Use 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 .
2 Attach 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.
3 Locate the black release pin just above the compact flash slot.
4 Press 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.
5 Remove the card completely and place it in a safe location.
