112770-A QI F/M Cards Page 2 Tuesday, December 17, 1996 6:43 AM 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.
