Installing a Flash Disk
Installing and Removing a Flash Disk in Horizontally Oriented Systems
The procedures in this section describe how to insert and eject a Flash Disk in systems in which the
PC Card slots are horizontally oriented. The following two procedures are discussed:
• Installing and Removing a Flash Disk in Cisco 7100 Series Routers, page 12
This procedure is specific to Cisco 7100 series routers. Use it for a Flash Disk in either horizontally
oriented PC Card slot position (slot 0 or slot 1) on your Cisco 7100 series router.
• Installing and Removing a Flash Disk in All Other Horizontally Oriented Systems, page 14
This procedure is generic for all other horizontally oriented systems. Use it for a Flash Disk in either
horizontally oriented PC Card slot on your system—PC Card slot 0 or slot 1.
Determine the system you have and use the appropriate procedure. (For a list of systems that support the
Flash Disk, see the “Hardware Requirements” section on page 3.) You do not need to turn off system
power for these procedures.
Note In Cisco 7100 series systems only, you must insert a Flash Disk with its back label facing up.
(See a and b in Figure 3.)
Installing and Removing a Flash Disk in Cisco 7100 Series Routers
Use the following procedure to install and eject a Flash Disk in a Cisco 7100 series router:
Step 1 Attach an ESD wrist or ankle strap, connecting the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis
surface.
Step 2 Locate the PC Card slot cover. (See Figure 2.)
To ensure protection from electromagnetic interference (EMI), the PC Card slots have a cover that is
secured with a captive screw.

Step 3
Use a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver to loosen the captive screw that secures the PC Card slot cover;
lift the cover to reveal the PC Card slots. (See Figure 2.)
Step 4 Hold the Flash Disk with its connector end toward the PC Card slot and its back label facing up. (See a
of Figure 3.)
