If the I-Series switch is operating in a hazardous environment, secure the Mini-GBIC and
uplink cable as described in
Installing and Removing a Memory Card
The I3H-4FXM-MEM and I3H-6TX-MEM IOMs provide a memory card slot where a small,
separately-purchased memory card (I3H-MEM) may be inserted. The memory card provides a
removable, non-volatile means for storing the system configuration and IP address only, and may
be used to move the system's configuration to another switch.
The memory card is hot-swappable. If a card is already installed in the switch, when the memory
slot coverplate is removed, power is automatically removed from the slot. Once power has been
removed from the slot, power will not be returned until the switch is rebooted with a memory
card in the slot and the coverplate is installed over the slot.
Use the memory card LEDs, shown in
determine the activity and power states before removing an installed memory card.
Memory Card Operation
When an I-Series switch is initialized (booted up), the configuration stored on an installed
memory card will overwrite the configuration saved in NVRAM. If no configuration is contained
on an installed memory card, the activity LED will flash briefly and the boot up will continue
without overwriting the configuration in NVRAM.
If a memory card is inserted into a running system (hot swapped), the configuration stored on the
memory card will not be applied until the system is rebooted.
For information about writing the system configuration to an installed memory card, refer to the
Enterasys I-Series CLI Reference Guide.
