Installing and removing a compact flash card
Compact flash cards can be inserted into the CompactFlash slot at any time.
CLI messages are displayed when a card is inserted or removed. It takes
approximately two seconds for an inserted card to be initialised. Messages
notify the user when a card has been inserted:
Info (1106257): Compact flash card inserted.
and when the card is ready for use:
Info (1106268): Compact flash card initialisation successful.
A message notifies the user if the compact flash card is not compatible with the
router:
Info (3106300): Compact flash card initialisation
unsuccessful.
When CompactFlash is in use, the CompactFlash Activity LED on the front
panel of the router is green.
Do not remove the compact flash card when it is being written to (that is, when
the CompactFlash Activity LED is lit). Doing so will corrupt data on the file
being written.
Testing CompactFlash
To display information about the basic state of a compact flash card, including
card size, file count and serial number, insert the card and enter the command:
SHOW CFLASH
To display cluster ranges on a card, insert the card and enter:
SHOW CFLASH TEST
Figure 33 on page 66 shows a sample output.
Figure33: Output from the SHOW CFLASH TEST command, when no test is running.
To test a card, insert the card and enter:
ENABLE CFLASH TEST START= startnumber END= endnumber
where startnumber and endnumber are positive integers within a cluster range.
The endnumber must be higher than the startnumber. Cluster ranges are
displayed in the output of the SHOW CFLASH TEST command (Figure 33 on
page 66).
The test software will read the file allocation table and display a list of free
sectors. Sectors can be tested as single sectors or as a range. The test will consist
of a write/read/verify cycle.
