Removing/Installing SMC PC Cards


Removing/Installing SMC PC Cards
 
The ASR 5000 supports the use of PC Cards, also known as PCMCIA. These cards store software images, configuration files, and other data. In the ASR 5000, each SMC provides a single PCMCIA slot. The slots on the SMC are located at the front of the card.
PC Cards are optional components. If your deployment requires the use of PC Cards, follow these instructions for safely installing and removing the cards. These slots can use either ATA Type I or Type II PCMCIA cards.
The location of the SMC’s PCMCIA card slots is displayed in the following figure.
