The Compact Flash Card

Each RPM is designed with a slot (slot0:) to accommodate a Compact Flash card (external Compact

Flash memory card). You can use the Compact Flash card to store and retrieve boot and system images.

For complex configurations, you can copy your configurations onto the Compact Flash card and then

transfer the configuration to other C150 systems in your network. FTOS supports up to a 40-character file

name length, up to a 180-character local file path length, and up to a 256-character remote file path

length.
