Release Notes for Cisco Intrusion Prevention System 5.1(7)E1

OL-8492-01

Before Upgrading to Cisco IPS 5.1(7)E1

Step 3 Power off the appliance.

Step 4 Remove the power cord and other cables from the appliance.

Step 5 Place the appliance in an ESD-controlled environment.

Step 6 Remove the chassis cover by unscrewing the screw on the front of the cover and sliding the cover straight

back.

Step 7 Locate the DIMM sockets and select an empty DIMM socket next to the existing DIMM.

Note The existing DIMM is installed in socket 0. The angled position of the DIMM sockets make

installing an additional DIMM in socket 1 difficult if a DIMM occupies socket 0. Therefore, you

should first remove the existing DIMM from socket 0, place the new DIMM in socket 1, and then

replace the existing DIMM in socket 0.

Step 8 Locate the ejector tabs on either side of the DIMM socket. Press down and out on tabs to open the slot

in the socket.

Step 9 Install the new DIMM, by positioning the DIMM into the socket and pressing it into place.

Note Do not force the DIMM into the socket. Alignment keys on the DIMM ensure that it only fits in

the socket one way. If you need additional leverage, you can gently press down on the DIMM

with your thumbs while pulling up on the ejector tabs.

Step 10 Replace the chassis cover and reconnect the power.

Step 11 Power on the sensor and make sure the new memory total is correct.

Note If the memory total does not reflect the added DIMMs, repeat Steps 1 through 4 to ensure the

DIMMs are seated correctly in the socket.
