External Flash Memory Card Overview
Each RPM card is designed with a slot to accommodate an external flash memory card (slot0:). You can
use a flash card to copy the image and configuration files for storage and backup purposes. For complex
configurations, use the copies for other E1200i systems in your network. Configure your boot execution
process to use the images stored on a flash card as the primary (active), secondary (standby), or default
boot order preference. Optional external flash memory cards are shipped blank.
