Flash Memory Card
Formatting a New Flash Memory Card
The flash memory card that shipped with your Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband router
contains the Cisco IOS software image you need to boot your router. In some cases, you might need to
insert a new flash memory card and copy images or back up configuration files onto it. Before you can
use a new flash memory card, you must format it. (Use only Type II PCMCIA flash memory cards
provided by Cisco.)
Note
To avoid potential problems when inserting spare flash memory cards in your Cisco uBR7200 series, we
recommend that you reformat all your flash memory cards on a Cisco uBR7200 series router running
Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)T1 or later during your regularly scheduled service times. The
“Reformatting
a Flash Memory Card” section on page 5-12
contains instructions to reformat a flash memory card.
Caution
The following formatting procedure erases all information on the flash memory card. To prevent the loss
of important data that might be stored on a flash memory card, proceed carefully. If you want to save the
data on a flash memory card, copy the data to a server before you format the card.
Note
The following procedure assumes you have already booted your Cisco uBR7200 series router.
To format a new flash memory card:
Step 1
Using the procedure described in the
“Installing a Flash Memory Card” section on page 5-7
, insert the
flash memory card into slot 0. (If slot 0 is not available, use slot 1.)
Step 2
To format the flash memory card, use the
format slot0:
(or
format slot1:
) command as follows:
Router#
format slot0:
All sectors will be erased, proceed? [confirm]
Enter volume id (up to 30 characters):
MyNewCard
Formatting sector 1
Format device slot0 completed
Router#
The new flash memory card is now formatted and ready to use.
Tip
For this example, a 16-MB flash memory card was used, and at the line “Formatting sector,” the system
counted the card’s sectors backward from 128 to 1 as it formatted them. For 20-MB flash memory cards,
the system counts backward from 160 to 1.
