Upgrading the DRAM DIMM
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly
touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
This section describes how to remove the existing DIMMs and replace them with the upgrade DIMMs.
The DRAM DIMM location is shown in Figure 3.
Note The Supervisor Engine 1A DRAM uses two DIMMs, one stacked on top of the other.

Caution Always use an ESD wrist strap when handling modules or coming into contact with internal components.
To install the DRAM upgrade, follow these steps:
Step 1 Remove the DRAM DIMMs from the socket by pulling the locking spring clips on both sides of the
DIMM holder outward, and tilt the DIMM free of the clips. (See Figure 4.) Be careful not to break the
clips on the DIMM connector.
Note The Supervisor Engine 1A DRAM uses two DIMMs, one stacked on top of the other. Remove the upper
DIMM first, and then remove the lower DIMM.
