Chapter 1 Cisco uBR7225VXR Overview
Hardware Component Descriptions
The CompactFlash Disk has controller circuitry that allows it to emulate a hard disk and automatically
maps out bad blocks and performs automatic block erasure. The CompactFlash Disk also provides the
capability to allocate noncontiguous sectors, which eliminates the need for the squeeze command (which
was required with older-style linear flash memory cards to recover the space used by deleted files).
The CompactFlash Disk also supports the Cisco IOS File System feature, which provides a single
interface to all of the router’s file systems, including the Flash Disks and flash memory, as well as
network file systems such as File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and Trivial FTP (TFTP) servers.
Note All CompactFlash Disks must be formatted before their initial use. CompactFlash Disks shipped with
the NPE-G2 are formatted at the factory, but spare memory cards are not formatted.
