Cross-Platform Release Notes (Cisco IOS Release 12.2T)
Important Notes
The following sections contain important notes about Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)XK3 that can apply to 
the Cisco 1700 series. (Also, see the 
.)
Fan Operation in Cisco 1700 Series Routers
The fans in some Cisco 1700 series routers stay off until thermally activated. The fans in Cisco 1760 and 
1760-V routers are always on.
Flash defaults to Flash:1 on Multipartition Flash
When using a multipartition flash card, the various flash partitions are referred to as “flash:1:”, 
“flash:2:”, etc. If you specify only “flash” in a multipartition flash, the parser assumes “flash:1:.” For 
example, if you enter show flash all the parser defaults to “show flash:1: all” and only the flash 
information for the first partition displays. To see information for all flash partitions, enter show flash ?
This will list all of the valid partitions. Then enter show flash:xx: all on each valid partition.
Peak Cell Rate and Sustainable Cell Rate Values
On Cisco 1700 routers, specify the Peak Cell Rate (PCR) and Sustainable Cell Rate (SCR) as multiples 
of 32 Kbps. Other rates are treated as the next lower value of a multiple of 32. For example, an entered 
PCR value of 150 is considered 128.
Using the boot flash Command
Booting a Cisco 1700 series router with the commands boot flash or boot system flash results in 
unpredictable behavior. To work around this problem, be sure to enter a colon (:) following both 
commands (for example, boot flash: or boot system flash:.)
Caveats
Caveats describe unexpected behavior or defects in Cisco IOS software releases. Severity 1 caveats are 
the most serious caveats, severity 2 caveats are less serious, and severity 3 caveats are the least serious 
of these three severity levels.
All caveats in Release 12.2 T are also in 12.2(2)XK3. For information on caveats in Cisco IOS Release 
12.2 T, refer to the 
Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 12.2 T
document. For information on caveats in Cisco 
IOS Release 12.2, refer to the 
Caveats for Cisco IOS Release 12.2
document. These documents list 
severity 1 and 2 caveats, and are located on CCO and the Documentation CD-ROM.
