SD-IE-1GB Description
The SD-IE-1GB is the Cisco 1 GB ruggedized SD memory card used by Industrial Ethernet switches as removable configuration storage, ordered as SD-IE-1GB= and listed in the accessory tables of both the Industrial Ethernet 2000 and 4000 Series data sheets. Its role on those platforms is not extra capacity but portability of the running configuration: Cisco lists a swappable SD flash card alongside the mini-USB connector in the IE 2000 hardware highlights, pairs it with auto sync to SD card as part of zero-touch DHCP discovery, and builds the IE 4000 SwapDrive feature on the same removable card so a failed switch can be replaced with no networking expertise and no manual reconfiguration. Where the card sits in a bill of materials depends entirely on the host generation, and the two data sheets say different things about it: on the Industrial Ethernet 2000 Series it is a 1 GB Ruggedized SD memory card that must be ordered and is not included by default, while the Industrial Ethernet 4000 Series product specifications list a 1-GB removable SD flash memory card as included hardware next to 1GB DRAM, 128-MB onboard flash memory, a mini-USB connector and an RJ-45 connector, with the same PID appearing in that series ordering table as a spare rather than an addition.

Application Scenarios
Installed in production-floor and remote plant cabinets where a failed switch has to be swapped by maintenance staff rather than a network engineer, with the card carrying the configuration across to the replacement unit.
Used where new Industrial Ethernet 2000 Series switches come up through DHCP zero-touch discovery and auto sync writes the configuration to the card as part of bring-up.
Held by maintenance teams serving Industrial Ethernet 4000 Series switches that already carry the card from the factory, so a lost or damaged card does not idle the switch it belongs to.
Related Ordering Boundary
The Host Generation Decides Whether This Is An Addition Or A Spare
On the Industrial Ethernet 2000 Series this card must be ordered and is not included by default, so an IE 2000 order without it ships without removable storage. On the Industrial Ethernet 4000 Series the same 1 GB removable SD flash card is listed as included hardware and SD-IE-1GB= appears in that series ordering table as a spare, so adding it to a new IE 4000 order buys a second card rather than enabling the feature.
Removable Storage Is Separate From Onboard Flash
Industrial Ethernet 4000 Series switches carry 128-MB onboard flash memory in addition to the removable SD card, so the card is not the switch boot storage and its 1 GB does not extend the onboard flash; the two are listed as separate hardware items in the product specifications.
Adjacent Accessory Lines On The Same Table
The Industrial Ethernet 2000 Series accessories and license upgrade table lists this card next to STK-RACK-DINRAIL= for the 19 in. DIN Rail mount kit and IE-LICENSE-SPARE for a spare software upgrade license covering L2 to L3 features and MRP ring, which are separate order lines and not substitutes for removable storage.
Selection Guide
1. Where The Card Is Already In The Box
An Industrial Ethernet 4000 Series switch arrives with a 1-GB removable SD flash memory card as listed hardware, so a first-time IE 4000 build gains nothing from adding SD-IE-1GB= to the same order; the PID earns its place there only as a replacement for a card that has been lost, damaged or retained in a failed chassis.
2. Where Leaving It Off Removes A Capability
An Industrial Ethernet 2000 Series order is the opposite case, since Cisco states the card must be ordered and is not included by default; skipping the line item leaves the switch without the removable storage that auto sync to SD card and swap-based replacement both depend on.
3. One Card Per Switch Rather Than Per Site
Because the card carries the configuration of the switch it is fitted to, a site running swap-based recovery needs the card populated in each deployed switch rather than a shared pool, and the spare count is sized on top of that installed base rather than replacing it.
4. Recovery Speed Is The Reason To Stock It
Cisco frames SwapDrive as simple switch replacement in case of a failure with no networking expertise required and fast recovery; a site whose maintenance crew is not network trained is buying that recovery path with this card, while a site that always dispatches an engineer with a console cable gets less from it.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Host switch series |
Confirm whether the target switch is an Industrial Ethernet 2000 or 4000 Series unit. |
The card must be ordered on the IE 2000 Series and is already listed as included hardware on the IE 4000 Series, so the same line item means different things on each. |
|
New build against replacement |
Confirm whether the card is filling an empty slot or replacing one that shipped with the switch. |
On an IE 4000 Series order the PID is the spare, so adding it to a new switch order results in a second card rather than a first one. |
|
Card count against switch count |
Confirm one card is planned for every switch that must support swap-based replacement. |
The card holds the configuration of the individual switch it is fitted to, so a shared pool does not cover an estate. |
|
Ordering form of the part number |
Confirm the line item reads SD-IE-1GB= as Cisco lists it in both accessory tables. |
Both the IE 2000 and IE 4000 Series tables use the spare notation, and an order raised without it may not match the catalog entry. |
|
Separate accessory lines |
Confirm whether STK-RACK-DINRAIL= or IE-LICENSE-SPARE are also needed for the same switch. |
Those sit on the same Cisco accessory table but cover mounting and software upgrade respectively, and neither substitutes for removable storage. |
