Compact Flash Card
The Compact Flash card is the primary non-volatile storage medium located
on the management module that contains both the boot software and
configuration files. When a Flash card fails the CF status LED on the
management module will blink simultaneously with the switch Fault LED.
Both the CF and the Fault flashing are amber in color (LEDs are green with
normal functionality). In addition the Locator LED will be a solid blue.
Installing a Compact Flash Card
To install (or replace) a Compact Flash card:
1. Using either a flat-bladed or Torx T-10 screwdriver loosen the retaining
screws securing the management module. (You cannot access the
Compact Flash when the management module is installed. This prevents
inadvertent removal of the system image while the system is running.)
2. Using the extractor handles, pull the management module out from the
slot.

3. Slide out the old flash card.
4. Slide in the new flash card being careful not to bend any pins.
5. Reinstall the management module into the switch.
6. Use an equal amount of pressure and push both extractor handles closed
to completely seat the module.
7. Tighten the retaining screws.
