Upgrading the DRAM DIMM

Figure 4 Removing the DRAM DIMM

Step 2

Hold the DIMM by its edges, gently lift and remove it, and place it on an antistatic mat or foam.

(See Figure 5.)

Figure 5 Handling a DIMM

Caution DIMMs are sensitive components that are susceptible to ESD damage. To prevent ESD damage, handle

DIMMs by the edges only; avoid touching the memory modules, pins, or traces (the metal fingers along

the connector edge of the DIMM). (See Figure 5.)

Step 3 Remove one upgrade DIMM from the antistatic container.

Step 4 Hold the DIMM by its edges. (See Figure 5.)

Step 5 Tilt the DIMM to approximately the same angle as the socket, and insert the connector edge into the

socket. Note the notch (key) on the right connector edge of the DIMM. (See Figure 5.) This key assures

correct orientation of the DIMM in the socket.

Note The Supervisor Engine 1A DRAM uses two DIMMs, one stacked on top of the other. Install the lower

DIMM first.

Caution When inserting the DIMM, use firm but not excessive pressure. If you damage a socket, you will have

to return the supervisor engine to Cisco for repair.
