Replacing the PCMCIA Flash Card

A new PCMCIA flash card is not available from HP separately from the
routing engine. If the flash card needs to be replaced, you must replace
the routing engine; the replacement routing engine comes with a new
flash card preinstalled on it.
The configuration is stored in the flash card. If you need to replace the
routing engine because of some problem other than one in the flash card
and you don't want to re-enter the configuration, you can use the follow-
ing procedure to install your current flash card in place of the new one
provided with the new routing engine.
Instead of using the procedure below, you can transfer the configuration
from your current flash card to the new flash card using NCL
commands. First, copy the configuration from your current flash card to
another router or to a PC console. (To ensure accurate transfer of the
configuration, it's best to do this after making a change to the configura-
tion and before a router failure occurs.) Next, install the new routing
engine; finally, copy the configuration from the other router or the PC
console to the new flash card on the new routing engine.
For information about copying a configuration to another router over a
network, refer to "Using TFTP to Transfer Operating Code, Configura-
tion, and NCL Display" in the User's Guide. For information about
copying a configuration to a PC console, refer to "Using PC Modem
Access to Transfer Configuration and NCL Display" in the User's Guide.
1. Remove the routing engine using steps 1–7 of the procedure
described under "Replacing the Routing Engine or an Interface Card
(System Offline)" (pages 3 -27 through 3-29), and place it on a flat
surface.
2. Connect a grounding wrist strap to your wrist and to the tray of the
routing engine.
