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.
