Chapter 7 NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 Installation and Configuration Information
Installing the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2
Caution When inserting the SODIMM, use firm but not excessive pressure. If you damage a socket, you will have
to return the NPE-G1 to the factory for repair.
Step 4 Gently press on the SODIMM until the SODIMM spring latches snap into place.
Step 5 If the SODIMM appears misaligned, carefully remove it and reseat it in the socket. Push the SODIMM
gently back into the socket until the spring latches snap into place.
You have finished replacing the SDRAM SODIMM. To install the NPE-G1 in the chassis, go to
“Inserting the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 into the Router” section on page 7-28.
Inserting the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 into the Router
Note If you have difficulty installing a processing engine or I/O controller in the lowest slot of a Cisco 7200
VXR router that is rack-mounted, remove the port adapters, processing engine and I/O controller from
the chassis and reinstall them. Install the processing engine and I/O controller in the lowest slots first,
then populate the slots above them, in a bottom-to-top order.
To insert the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 into the router, follow the instructions in this section:
Step 1 Align the left and right edges of the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 with the chassis slot guides. Figure 7-16 shows
an NPE-G1 being installed into a Cisco 7200 VXR router; inserting an NPE-G2 is similar. Inserting a
Cisco uBR7200-NPE-G1 in a Cisco uBR7246VXR router is similar.
