Do’s and Don’t

2. On 7250 IXR Series, never take out Flash Memory in powered on device. It should always will off, if
Flash is required to be plugged out.
3. Always take backup of existing config and save on device other than Flash card in Router.
4. Always get the new SROS from Authorised Nokia Representative and don’t download from open site
and urls.
