The RPM cards in the C7004/C150 system use a Compact Flash Card (external flash memory card) to
store and retrieve boot and system images. This is the default storage area for the boot files and the
startup configuration file. Upon system power-up or a system reset, the boot process uses parameters
stored in non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) to boot the system.
Each RPM card is equipped with a slot for an external flash memory card (slot0:). You can copy the
image files and configuration files to the external flash device on the primary RPM. You can also begin
your boot process by accessing a remote server containing the boot image and system image files.

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 C7004/C150 systems in your network. Dell Networking 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.
NOTE: Use only a Dell Networking Compact Flash card in your C7004/C150 System. Additional cards can be
purchased from Dell Networking.
Inserting the Compact Flash Card
NOTE: Insert the Compact Flash card either before system boot or after the system has completed booting
and is in run-time mode.
To install the Compact Flash card:
StepTask
1Hold the Compact Flash card horizontally with the side containing the serial number facing up (the numbers should
be oriented so you can read them). See
Figure 13-1
for the proper orientation.

S/N 012345678
2Insert the Compact Flash card into the primary RPM flash slot until the card is completely seated with the connectors
at the rear of the slot.
NOTE: Do not force the Compact Flash card into the slot. The slot is designed to prevent improper installation.
The In Use LED lights only during read or write operations.
Removing the Compact Flash Card
WARNING: Do not remove the Compact Flash card when the In Use LED is lit.
The Compact Flash Card|55
Page 56
To remove the flash memory card:
StepTask
1Make sure that the In Use LED is not lit, and gently depress the flash card in the slot. The card should partially
eject out of the slot.
2Remove the card, and place it in an antistatic bag.
Formatting the Compact Flash Card
New Compact Flash cards must be formatted in the C7004/C150 before use.
Flash cards used on systems other than the C7004/C150, as well as cards formatted on PCs, must be
reformatted in the C7004/C150 flash slot before they can be used. Formatting erases all information

Alarms
The C7004/C150 system generates alarms for the following conditions:
•fan tray status
•power supply status
•RPMs status
•high temperature on RPMs
•line cards status
•high temperature on line cards
A major alarm is any fault that would render the C7004/C150 system non-functional.
A minor alarm is any fault that threatens the operation of the C7004/C150 system.
You can monitor alarm conditions on the C7004/C150 system through the console and LEDs. If you
configure the SNMP command
an SNMP trap.
snmp-server enable traps envmon, Dell Networking OS also sends
In the C7004/C150 system, alarms are logged for each occurrence, but the system may not send an event
log for multiple occurrences. For example, whenever a module exceeds the shutdown threshold, the
module shuts down.
If more than one module exceeds the warning or high-temperature thresholds within a five-minute period,
the system generates one event for all affected modules, but alarms are logged for each occurrence. If the
module temperature falls to 5° lower than the warning threshold temperature, the system clears the alarm
and an SNMP trap.
