Introduction
The System 5000
™
routers use flash memory cards to provide
storage for the nonvolatile file system (NVFS). The router
installation and configuration files are stored on flash memory
cards.
You must remove the Model 5380 Ethernet Router and the Model
5580 Token Ring Router modules from the chassis to install the
memory card. The Model 5780 ATM Router module has an
installation slot on the front.
CAUTION:
Only qualified technicians should install
this equipment.
Place all printed circuit boards on an antistatic mat
until you are ready to install them. If you do not have
an antistatic mat, wear a discharge leash to free
yourself of static before touching any of the printed
circuit boards or free yourself of static by touching a
grounded metal object before handling a printed circuit
board.

Protecting Files on the Flash Memory Card
Bay Networks ships each memory card with its read/write
protect switch in the unprotected position. Bay Networks
recommends making a copy of your configuration files on
another flash memory card, write-protecting the card, and storing
it in a safe place for backup purposes.
1. Remove the memory card, as described on page 5.
NOTE:
You typically do not operate a router with a
write-protected memory card. You may need to
permanently store online network changes and
software upgrades, or to restore network operation by
downloading changes.

opposite the INSERT arrow of the memory card.
3. Insert the memory card as described in “Installing a
Flash Memory Card” earlier in this guide.
