Installing Storage Media in a Supervisor Module

Each supervisor module on a Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switch is shipped with a CompactFlash card installed
in the LOG FLASH reader (Supervisor 1 modules) or a USB drive installed in the LOG FLASH reader
(Supervisor 2 and Supervisor 2E modules). The EXPANSION FLASH reader (Supervisor 1) or Slot0 port
(Supervisor 2 and 2E) is left empty, but you can optionally install a card in that reader or a USB drive in the
USB port. To allow this storage media to function with the reader or port, you must make sure that it is either
formatted for the reader before installing it or format it after installing it.
