Only the original route processor (RP) card uses a PCMCIA card. The performance route processor (PRP)
card has a USB connector for using a flash drive.
Note
Core dumps are discoverable only through intervention with the LCC system software.
Note
Physically, the RP or DRP hard drive is a hot-pluggable PC board and sled-mounted drive with a connector
interface that gets cleanly seated into a route processor card. In general, removal and replacement of this drive
is not required.
The RP and DRP cards provide two PCMCIA flash slots, each card providing up to 1 GB of flash storage.
One PCMCIA flash subsystem is accessible externally, is removable, and allows you to transfer images and
configurations by plugging in a PCMCIA flash card. The other subsystem is fixed to the RP or DRP, not
removable, and for permanent storage of configurations and images.
About Cable Management Brackets
The chassis includes a cable management system that organizes the interface cables entering and exiting the
different cards, keeping them out of the way and free of sharp bends.
Excessive bending of interface cables can cause damage to the cables.
Caution
The LCC arrives with a midchassis and upper-chassis horizontal cable management bracket preinstalled on
the front (PLIM) side of the chassis, with an optional upper-chassis horizontal cable management bracket
available for the rear (MSC) side of the chassis.
The following figure shows the midchassis cable management bracket.
