Replacing the CF Memory Card on SMCs
SMC cards ship with a CompactFlash (CF) memory card that stores configuration files, software images, and session
capacity/feature licensing keys for the system. The following figure displays the location of the CompactFlash memory
card on the SMC.
Figure 61. Location of CompactFlash Card
In the event of an SMC hardware failure, you must remove the CompactFlash from the failed card and install it on the
replacement SMC. This ensures that the proper software image, configuration files, and license keys are loaded as the
system boots.
Caution: To reduce the risk of damage, handle the CompactFlash memory card only when necessary as part of
the maintenance process.
