Inserting or removing a compact flash memory card

The G450 and G430 support hot insertion and removal of a compact flash memory card without 
power drop, provided the compact flash is not in use when you remove it.

Inserting a compact flash memory card

1. Remove the blank plate covering the compact flash memory card slot, located in the center 

of the main board.

2. Position the compact flash memory card so that the vendor name is facing up and the 

connector is pointing toward the gateway, and gently insert it into the compact flash slot. 

3. After installing the compact flash memory card and the additional 256 MB RAM card, the 

announcement files are not automatically moved from the internal flash to the compact 
flash. To move them:

a. Make sure the gateway is registered to CM. 

b. At the CM, set 

enable CF

 to 

y

 in the 

change media-gateway 

screen.

c. In the SAT interface of the CM, enter 

enable announcement-board

The announcement files are copied from internal flash to the compact flash, and the 
yellow CARD IN USE LED associated with the compact flash lights up. 

4. Use the 

show platform mainboard

 gateway CLI command to check the compact flash 

status. Sample output includes:
