Maintaining the Cisco 2500 Series Access Server B-9
Installing Primary-Memory DRAM SIMMs
Figure B-5 Removing and Replacing the DRAM SIMM
Step 6
Using the system card orientation shown in Figure B-5, position the new SIMM
so that the polarization notch is located at the right end of the SIMM socket. Note
that the orientation of the system card is opposite that shown in Figure B-2.
Step 7 Insert the new DRAM SIMM by sliding the end with the metal fingers into the
SIMM connector socket at approximately a 45-degree angle to the system card.
Gently rock the SIMM back into place until the latch on either side snaps into
place. Do not use excessive force because the connector could break.
Step 8 Replace the access server cover using the procedure in the section “Closing the
Chassis” later in this appendix.
Step 9 Connect the access server to a console terminal.
Step 10 Turn on the power to the chassis. If error messages relating to memory are
displayed, repeat these steps, taking care to firmly seat the SIMM in its socket.
