Step4 Press the DIMM firmly into the slot until the slot guides on each side of the slot
move up and over the end of the DIMM. If the guides do not move up over the
edge of the DIMM, move them with your hands.
Installing a SIMM
You can install one SIMM to increase the amount of Flash memory in the router.
The SIMM used to upgrade Flash memory is 16 MB in size.
Follow these steps to install a SIMM on the router motherboard.
Warning
During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the
router. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or
you could shock yourself.
Step1 Locate the SIMM slot on the motherboard. See Figure C-3 on pageC-4.
Step2 Remove any existing SIMM by pulling the locking spring clips on both sides
outward and tilting the SIMM free of the clips.
Step3 Face the front panel of the router. Hold the SIMM with the component side toward
you.
Caution Handle SIMMs by the card edges only. SIMMs are ESD-sensitive components and
can be damaged by mishandling.
Step4 Position the SIMM so that the indexing slot in the connector (bottom edge) of the
SIMM is lined up with the indexing tab inside the SIMM slot. Tilt the SIMM
45 degrees toward the rear of the router, and insert it into the slot (see Figure C-5).
Rock it into its vertical position, using the minimum force necessary. When the
SIMM is properly seated, the connector springs will click into place.
