Configuring Internal Compact Flash Recovery
To recover an internal compact flash with a corrupt or missing operating system,
you must remove the corrupt internal compact from the J-series Services Router,
plug it into a PC with a PCMIA adapter or USB card reader, copy the JUNOS recovery
software package onto it, and reinstall on the router. For instructions about how to
remove and install an internal compact flash, see the Getting Started Guide for your
router.
