2. If the CompactFlash card is in a PCMCIA card adapter, slide it out of the adapter.
3. Slide the CompactFlash card into the connector on the Routing Engine (see Figure 1).
4. Use needlenose pliers with grooved jaws to lower and secure the wire clasp.
5. Install the Routing Engine as described in Installing the Routing Engine in a M7i Router.
