Notethat the URL of a file on the secondary SRPU must begin with slot[No.]#flash:/, whereNo. is the number of the slot where the secondary SRPU is seated. Assume that thesecondary SRPU is seated in slot 1, then you need to use slot1#flash:/text.txt to identifythe file named text.txt and residing in the root directory of the secondary SRPU.
