Reference Information
Step 2 Insert the card into the appropriate slot until the card completely seats in the connector at
the back of the slot and the eject button pops out toward you (See Figure 9b.) Note that the
card does not insert all the way inside the RSP7000; a portion of the card will remain
outside the slot. Do not attempt to force the card past this point.
Step 3 To eject a card, press the appropriate ejector button until the card is free of the connector at
the back of the slot. (See Figure 9c.)
Step 4 Remove the card from the slot and place it in an antistatic bag to protect it.
Formatting a Flash Memory Card
The Flash memory (PCMCIA) card that shipped with your Cisco 7000 contains the Cisco IOS
software image. In some cases, you might need to insert a new Flash memory card and copy images
or backup configuration files onto it. Before you can use a new Flash memory card, you must format
it.
Note The following procedure assumes you have already booted your router.
Warning The following formatting procedure erases all information on the Flash memory card. To
prevent the loss of important data on a Flash memory card, proceed carefully. If you wish to save the
data on a Flash memory card, upload the data to a server before you format the card.
Use the following procedure to format a new Flash memory card:
Step 1 Using the procedure in the section “Replacing a Flash Memory Card” on page 41 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. (Use only Intel Series 2+ Flash memory cards.)
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#
Note For this example, an 8-MB Flash memory card was used, and at the line “Formatting sector,”
the system counted the card’s sectors backwards from 64 to 1 as it formatted them. For 16-MB Flash
memory cards, the system counts backwards from 128 to 1, and for 20-MB Flash memory cards, the
system counts backwards from 160 to 1.
The new Flash memory card is now formatted and ready to use.
Note For complete command descriptions and configuration information, refer to the Router
Products Command Reference Addendum (for Cisco IOS Release 10.3) and the Router Products
Configuration Guide Addendum (for Cisco IOS Release 10.3).
