Installing and Removing a Flash PC Card
To install and remove a Flash PC card, follow these steps:
Step 1 Face the front panel of the switch and hold the Flash PC card with the connector 
end of the card toward the slot. The connector end of the card is opposite the end 
with the write-protection switch, which is shown in Figure 3-8.
Step 2 Insert the card into the slot until the card completely seats in the connector at the 
back of the slot and the eject button pops out toward you. Note that the card does 
not insert all the way inside the slot; a portion of the card remains outside the slot. 
Caution Do not attempt to force the card past this point or you could damage the connector 
pins.
Step 3 To eject a card, press the ejector button until the card is free of the connector at 
the back of the slot.
Step 4 Remove the card from the slot and place it in an antistatic bag.
For information on installing and removing a CompactFlash card or MicroDrive 
on a Supervisor Engine 720, refer to the Supervisor Engine 720 Compact Flash 
and MicroDrive Installation Note.
