The side with the ridge faces toward the bottom of the chassis.

from the slot.

inside the slot.

Removing a Compact Flash Memory Card
You do not need to power off the system or remove the MSM from the chassis to remove an external
compact flash memory card.
You need an ESD-preventive wrist strap to remove a compact flash memory card.
To remove the memory card:
1 Use the
eject memorycard
command to ensure that you will not lose any data when you remove
the card.
After you use the
eject memorycard
command, you can physically remove the card from the
compact flash slot on the MSM. For more information about the
eject memorycard
command,
see the
ExtremeXOS User Guide
.
2 Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect the metal end of the strap to the
ground receptacle on the chassis front panel.
3 Locate the black release pin just above the compact flash slot.
4 Press the release pin until the card releases from the slot.
The card releases to an intermediate position; the card remains partially inserted but is no longer
seated in the slot.
5 Remove the card completely and place it in a safe location.
