Cisco Systems manual Checking the VIP4 Memory Upgrade

VIP4 Maintenance Procedures

Step 6 If you have a network processing engine with more than one DIMM socket and are replacing the second DIMM also, repeat steps Step 1 through Step 5 above.

This completes the DIMM replacement procedure. Reinstall the VIP4 in the system. (Follow the steps in the “Installing a VIP4” section on page 19 .) See the following section, “ Checking the VIP4 Memory Upgrade,” as required.

Checking the VIP4 Memory Upgrade

After you upgrade the VIP4 memory, verify the memory upgrade:

•Observe the LED states and the console display. When the system has reinitialized all interfaces, the enabled LEDs on the VIP4 port adapters should go on. (Port adapter status LEDs might be on, depending on your connections.) The console screen also displays a message as the system discovers each interface during its reinitialization.

•Use the show diag command to verify that the system recognizes the new memory; check the line of the show diag command output that begins with Controller Memory Size.

If, after you have replaced memory devices, the system fails to boot properly, if the console terminal displays a checksum or memory error, or if the show diag command output indicates an incorrect amount of memory (or no memory), check the following:

•Ensure that all memory devices are installed correctly. If necessary, shut down the system and remove the VIP4. Check the memory devices by looking straight down on them and then at eye level. The devices should be aligned at the same angle and the same height when properly installed. If a memory device appears to stick out or rest in the socket at a different angle from the others, remove the device and reinsert it; then replace the VIP4 and reboot the system for another installation check.

•Each DIMM socket must contain a DIMM of the correct size and speed or the system cannot operate. To ensure this, use only memory devices that are included with Cisco Systems memory kits.

•See the “Checking the VIP4 Installation” section on page 21 .

If after several attempts the system fails to restart properly, contact a service representative for assistance. Before you call, make note of any error messages, unusual LED states, or any other indications that might help solve the problem.

This completes the VIP4 memory upgrade.

Installing or Replacing a Port Adapter on a VIP4

Depending on the circumstances, you might need to install a new single-width or dual-width port adapter on a VIP4 motherboard or replace a failed port adapter in the field. In either case, you need a number 1 Phillips screwdriver, an antistatic mat onto which you can place the removed VIP4, and an antistatic container into which you can place a failed port adapter for shipment back to the factory. Always handle the port adapter by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the port adapter components or connector pins. (See Figure 9.)
