Avaya 8800 Installation Manual page 71

Note:
The 8895 CF slot is a CF Type I slot, which supports CF Type I cards only. (While a CF
Type I card can operate in a CF Type Ior CF Type II slot, a CF Type II card can only operate
in a CF Type II slot.)
Compact flash read/write compatibility with Windows PC
The compact flash interface card of the 8895 SF/CPU can be formatted in either the Windows
PC compatible format or its original format.
Important:
You must initially format the compact flash on the ERS 8800/8600 to be recognized by both
VxWorks and Windows. If you initially format the compact flash on a Windows PC, VxWorks
on the ERS 8800/8600 cannot recognize it.
Format the compact flash using the boot configuration flag cf-pc-compat. You can set/
display this flag in the boot configuration file boot.cfg using the boot monitor CLI/ACLI. If
you set the cf-pc-compat flag to True the compact flash is formatted in the Windows PC
compatible format. Setting the flag to False ensures backwards compatibility with the original
format. The default state of the flag is False.
Important:
Ensure that you remove the Compact Flash interface card from its slot before you modify
the cf-pc-compat flag. Otherwise the system displays errors.
For information on boot configuration flags and configuring them using the boot monitor CLI/
ACLI, see Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 8800/8600 Administration, NN46205–605.
