5.Install the CPU memory pack
Only Allied Telesyn supplied DIMMS have been tested and approved for use with SwitchBlade switch controllers. Using DIMM that has not been approved may cause unreliable operation and will invalidate the switch controller’s warranty.
In an antistatic environment:
a)Lay the switch controller on a flat surface
b)Unpack the memory pack’s two DIMMs
c)Holding a DIMM at an angle of about 30 degrees from horizontal, align the notches on its connector strip with the notches on a DIMM slot (see Figure 2 on page
d)Insert the DIMM into the DIMM slot, sliding it along the two guides until the retaining latches click into place. The latches should hold the DIMM firmly in place
e)Repeat the process for the second DIMM
For the switch to function, both DIMMs must be installed (giving 256 MBytes of
DRAM per switch controller).
