223

Configuring the vFlash Media Card 
for Use With iDRAC6

The vFlash media card is a Secure Digital (SD) card that plugs into the 
optional iDRAC6 Enterprise card slot at the back corner of the system. 
It provides storage space that behaves like a common USB Flash Key device.

Installing a vFlash Media Card

 

NOTE: 

Dell-branded vFlash media is required for the vFlash partition.

1

Remove the blade from the chassis.

2

Locate the vFlash media slot at the back corner of the system.

 

NOTE: 

You do not need to remove the blade cover to install or remove 

the card.
