Chapter 1 CompactFlash Disk, Flash Disk, and Flash Memory Card Information

Copying a Bootable Image onto a CompactFlash Disk, Flash Disk, or Flash Memory Card

Copying a Bootable Image onto a CompactFlash Disk, Flash

Disk, or Flash Memory Card

After you have reformatted your CompactFlash Disk, Flash Disk, or PC (Flash memory) card, you can

copy a bootable image onto it. The procedure for copying an image onto a CompactFlash Disk, Flash

Disk, or PC card is based on the following assumptions:

• You have an I/O controller or NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 with a good image in the onboard Flash memory

so you can start the router.

• The bootable image you want to copy to the Compact Flash Disk, Flash Disk, or PC card exists on

a TFTP server to which you have access (meaning you know its name and have connectivity to it),

and at least one interface is available over which you can access this server.

Note To ensure access to a TFTP sever, you will need to configure at least one network interface

using the setup facility. Refer to the Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide

publication for instructions on how to configure a network interface using the setup facility.

• You know the filename of the image you want to copy onto the CompactFlash Disk, Flash Disk, or

PC card.

Use the following procedure to copy a bootable file (called new.image in the examples) to the memory

card:

Step 1 Boot the router and allow it to initialize.

Step 2 Insert a CompactFlash Disk, Flash Disk, or PC card into an available slot and reformat the disk or card

using the procedure in the “Reformatting a CompactFlash Disk, Flash Disk, or Flash Memory Card”

section on page 1-7. Then proceed to Step 3.

Note You cannot boot from a CompactFlash Disk, Flash Disk, or PC card that was formatted on

another type of system. You must reformat the disk or card to use it as a boot source. To avoid

potential problems when you insert a CompactFlash Disk, Flash Disk, or PC card in your router,

we recommend that you reformat all of your CompactFlash Disks, Flash Disks, or PC cards

using the recommended minimum Cisco IOS software release for your platform during your

regularly scheduled service times. (See the “Software and Hardware Requirements” section on

page 3-2, and Table 1-1, Table 1-2, and Table 1-3 in this chapter.)

Step 3 Use the following series of commands to copy the new image (new.image in the following example) to

a PC card in slot0:

Router> enable

Password:

Router# copy tftp:new.image slot0:new.image

20575008 bytes available on device slot0, proceed? [confirm]

address or name of remote host [1.1.1.1]?

loading new.image from 1.1.1.1 (via Ethernet1/0):!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
