Installing a Memory Upgrade
Caution If you remove a PIX Firewall chassis top panel, always reinstall the top panel. Running a
PIX Firewall without the top panel may cause overheating and damage to electrical
components.
Memory Installation Steps
Complete these steps to install additional system memory:
Step 1 Remove network wires and any cords connecting to the PIX Firewall unit if the unit is rack-mounted.
The PIX 515/515E should be removed from the rack and placed on a stable working surface. Ensure
that the unit is unplugged from its power source.
Step 2 Unpack the items in the memory upgrade kit.
Remove the top panel from the PIX Firewall unit. Remove all screws holding the assembly in place.
Refer to “Removing and Replacing a PIX 515/515E Chassis Cover” for information on how to remove
and replace the top panel.
Step 3 Determine the location of your system memory sockets (See Figure 4-15).
Step 4 Use the markings on the motherboard to determine the socket numbers. Always install the first memory
board into the lowest socket number. Progressively add memory boards into higher numbered sockets.
