Chapter 3 Installing a Cisco Nexus 7018 Chassis
Installing and Formatting CompactFlash Cards
Tip Whenever you need to open the door, pull one of the door handles open until it clicks and then swing
that side of the door open.
Note If the double-hinged door and its holders are not level, it is possible that you will have some difficulty
opening or closing the door on one or both sides. The door is not defective. Either push in the bottom
portion of the door or slightly lift up the door on that side just before closing. If the problem persists,
open the door from the other side, which should be free of this problem, or adjust the cable management
system and hinge bracket so that they are level.
Installing and Formatting CompactFlash Cards
Each supervisor module on a Cisco Nexus 7018 system is shipped with a CompactFlash card installed
in the LOG FLASH reader. The EXPANSION FLASH reader is left empty, but you can optionally install
a card in that reader. For the card to function with the reader, you must make sure that it is either
formatted for the reader before installing it or format it after installing it.
Note The LOG FLASH and EXPANSION FLASH readers require different formats for their cards.
To replace an installed CompactFlash card, see the “Replacing a CompactFlash Card” section on
page 8-15.
To install a CompactFlash card, follow these steps:
Step 1 Align the card with the slot for the CompactFlash reader slot that is labeled LOG FLASH or
EXPANSION FLASH as shown in
Figure 3-22. The grooves on the thin side of the card must begin on
the end of the card that goes into the reader first.

Step 2 Push the card all the way into the reader.
If the card does not fit easily into the reader, flip the card so the bottom edge is on top, and try pushing
the card into the reader.
Step 3 Wait for the reader LED to turn green and for a message to appear on the console as follows:
If you are installing a card into the log flash reader, the message will end with “logflash:online.”
