Caution Forcing the DIMM, into the socket can damage the DIMM. Use the notches on the DIMM to align the DIMM in the DIMM socket before inserting it.

Step 5 Locate the notches and align the DIMM with the socket before inserting it.

Step 6 Gently insert the new DIMM, taking care not to damage the pins on the edge of the DIMM. Step 7 Press the spring latches to lock the DIMM in place.

Step 8 Replace the cover; lower it onto the chassis and push the cover toward the rear of the chassis to lock it in place. Step 9 Replace and tighten the four cover screws.

Step 10 Replace the Cisco 7401ASR router in the rack. See the “Rack-Mount the Router” section on page 12 for instructions. Step 11 Attach the cables and thread them through the cable management bracket if appropriate.

Step 12 Attach the power cables. If you have a DC power supply, attach the –V and +V leads to the power supply. Repeat this step if you have a dual-DC power supply. Then switch the circuit breaker to the ON position.

Step 13 Power on the router.
