Chapter 6 Preparing RPM Cards for Operation
Initializing RPM Cards
To initialize an RPM card, use the following procedure.
Step 1 Establish a configuration session with the switch using a user name at any access level.
Note Access to the RPM configuration is secured by the Cisco IOS software running on the card.
Step 2 To display the files that can be used to start RPM cards, enter the cd command to select the C:FW
directory, and enter the ll command to display the directory contents. For example:
M8850_LA.8.PXM.a > cd FW
M8850_LA.8.PXM.a > ll

The file that contains the text rpm-boot is for booting the card when the regular runtime image,
rpm-js-mz_123-2.T5 in this example, cannot load. The boot file is stored in bootflash on the card and
loaded from that location. The switch never loads the boot code from the PXM hard disk. However, it is
common practice to store the boot code on the hard disk in preparation for a bootflash upgrade.
Write down the filename for the runtime image. You will have to enter this filename later in this
procedure.
