Installing or Removing a CTP2000 Series CompactFlash Card

On the CTP2000 series devices with the new PP833 processor, the CompactFlash card is installed on the processor itself (which may be located under an installed PMC card), which prevents insertion or removal of the CompactFlash card until the PMC card is removed. On the CTP2000 series devices with the PP310 and PP332 processors, the CompactFlash card is installed on the processor rear transition module (RTM). Some CTP devices may ship with a CompactFlash card already installed.

To remove or install the CompactFlash card for the CTP2000 series with the new PP833 processor (see Figure 1):

  1. Power off the unit.
  2. If installed, remove the PP833 PMC card by unscrewing the retaining screws and pushing the extractors outward with the latching buttons depressed.
  3. You can then remove or install the CompactFlash card in the flash socket.
  4. If being used, reinstall the PP833 PMC card into the chassis, and secure the retaining screws.
