Reference Information
Copying a Bootable Image into a Flash Memory Card
With the Flash memory card formatted, you can now copy a bootable image into it. To copy an
image, use the following procedure, which assumes the following:
• You have an RSP7000 with a good image in the onboard Flash SIMM so you can start the router
• The bootable image you wish to copy to the Flash memory card exists on a TFTP server to which
you have access (know its name and have connectivity to it), and at least one interface is available
over which you can access this server
Note To assure access to a TFTP sever, you will need to configure at least one interface using the
setup command facility. For instructions on using this procedure, refer to the Router Products
Configuration Guide (for Cisco IOS Release 10.3[9]) or Router Products Getting Started Guide (for
Cisco IOS Release 10.3[9]) publications.
• You know the filename of the image you wish to copy into the Flash memory card
Following is the procedure for copying a bootable file (called new.image) into the Flash memory
card:
Step 1 Boot the router and allow it to initialize.
Step 2 Insert an unformatted Flash memory card and format it using the procedure in the section
“Formatting a Flash Memory Card,” and then proceed to Step 3.
Note If you have already formatted a Flash memory card, you can use it instead; however, you
cannot use a Flash memory card formatted on another type of system. You must reformat it to use it.
