Removing and Replacing the Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP1 DIMM Memory Module

To replace or upgrade the Cisco ASR 1000 Series DIMM memory spare, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventative wrist strap between you and an unpainted router surface. Step 2 Locate the DIMM on the system board.

Note The DIMMs shown in Figures 8-6 and 8-7 are representative and might not look exactly like the DIMMs used on the RP; but the procedure is the same.

Step 3 Press both spring latches outward to release the DIMM.

Pull DIMM out.

Step 4 Pull the latches away from the DIMM on both edges. This lifts the DIMM slightly. Gently lift the DIMM free from the DIMM connector, taking care not to touch the pins that insert into the socket.

Step 5 Place the DIMM in an anti-static bag to protect the DIMM from ESD damage.

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 (see Figure 8-7).
