SM-VAM

Figure 1-30 SM-VAM LEDs
The following conditions must be met before the enabled LED goes on:
•
The SM-VAM is correctly connected to the backplane and receiving power.
•
The system bus recognizes the SM-VAM.
If either of these conditions is not met, or if the router initialization fails for other reasons, the enabled
LED does not go on.
Flash Disks
A Flash Disk is the default memory device that ships with your Cisco 7100 series VPN router.
Cisco 7100 series VPN routers support up to two installed Flash Disks that contain the default
Cisco IOS software image. Flash Disks can be installed in slot 0 and slot 1 of the PC Card slots located
at the back of the router. Slot 0 is the top slot and slot 1 is the bottom slot.
The PC Card must be installed with the back label facing up. The PC Card is keyed and cannot be seated
the wrong way. The ejector button will not pop out if the card is not completely inserted.
To ensure proper electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), the PC Card slot has a cover that is secured with
a captive screw. To install or remove a Flash Disk from slot 0 or slot 1, you must loosen the captive screw.
