Using Flash PC Cards
This section describes how to insert and remove a (PCMCIA) Flash PC card. For
additional information related to the Flash PC card, refer to the Catalyst 6500
Series Switch Software Configuration Guide or the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch
IOS Software Configuration Guide.
The PCMCIA slot on the front panel of the supervisor engine is for additional
Flash memory. You can use this Flash memory to store and run software images
and configuration files or to serve as an I/O device.
The supervisor engine has one PCMCIA slot: slot 0. You can insert and remove
the Flash PC card with the power on.
Before you install a Flash PC card, verify that the card is set with write protection
off. The write-protect switch is located on the front edge of the card (when the
printing is right side up and the edge connector end is away from you).
(See
Note Not all Flash PC cards have the write-protect switch.
