CompactFlash Memory Card
(Stratix 8000/8300 Switches) The CompactFlash card for Stratix 8000/8300 switches contains the switch
IOS operating system, Device Manager firmware, and user-defined
configuration settings. Without the CompactFlash card, the switch cannot
power up or restart.
If you remove the card with the switch running, the switch continues to
function. However, Device Manager is no longer available.
If you change the switch configuration after the card is removed, they are
applied and used by the switch. However, the changes are not saved. If you
insert the CompactFlash card later, the previous changes are still not saved to
the card. Only changes that are made while the card is inserted are saved.
Each time a change is made with the card installed, both the AOP and Device
Manager save the entire running configuration to the card.
Firmware Updates You can download firmware for all switches from
http://www.rockwellautomation.com .
From Device Manager, you can apply firmware updates to switches one at a
time. From the Admin menu, choose Software Update.
