If there is no entry for the accelerator card, then the switch's boot process has
not detected the card. The most likely cause is that the card is not correctly
plugged into the slot on the switch's base board.
To display information about the status and memory of a network processor
accelerator card on AT-8900 and AT-9924T/4SP switches, use the show switch
accelerator command.
The following figure is an example of output from the show switch accelerator
command.

CompactFlash Card

CompactFlash (CFlash) cards are a memory expansion option for AT-8900 and
AT-9900 switches. Data such as releases, patches, and configurations can be
stored on these cards, and files can be manipulated with the command line
interface (CLI). However, release and patch files cannot be run directly from
the card, but must be loaded into either NVS or onboard flash.
Important Anyone with a compliant reader can read CFlash cards so do not
keep sensitive data on them.
The following CompactFlash cards are approved for use with AT-8900 and
AT-9900 switches:
AT-CF032A-nnn 32 MB
■
AT-CF064A-nnn 64 MB (AT-9900 only)
■
AT-CF128A-nnn 128 MB
■
Where n is the number of cards in a package, less than 1000. A package
containing one card is 001.
For the latest list of approved CFlash cards, contact your authorised distributor
or reseller.
CFlash cards used with the switch must support a hardware access time of no
more than 100 nanoseconds. If a card does not meet this requirement, it may
not work.
