Compact flash upgrade/IOS upgrade

[rpearson97217]

Hey There,

I need to upgrade the compact flash memory on a 2821 router from 64 to 128, upgrade the ios, and re-script the router.

So I'm wondering what is the correct sequence? With the router powered on, do i eject the existing flash, and install the new one or do I power down the router? Once the memory has been increased, then i can upload the new ios?

Any help would be appreciated.

Yes you can remove the card while it is up and running and insert the new one. Then you can copy an IOS image to the new card. Not sure what you mean about re-script the router ?

See this doc for more details on using compact flash cards -
