2.5.2 Adding or Replacing Compact Flash Card
You can install an optional Sun Compact Flash card on the Netra CP3260 blade
server. The Compact Flash card is not hot-swappable and there is no access to the
card once the blade server is installed in an ATCA chassis.
To install the Compact Flash card, use the arrow on the card’s label as a guide and
insert the card into the Compact Flash connector (
FIGURE 2-4
).
Note – On the Netra CP3260, the Compact Flash is an USB removable media device.
Therefore, you must use the Solaris
rmformat
utility to format the device. Refer to
the
rmformat
(1) man page for more information.
Note – Sun Compact Flash cards have a life of 2,000,000 write/erase cycles. Users
are responsible for ensuring that the operating system and applications do not
exceed this limitation.
If the Solaris OS is installed on the Compact Flash card, Sun recommends that you
reconfigure the swap space to another storage device.
