Modules Internal to the Cisco 1841 Router

This section tells how to install a small outline dual in-line memory module (SODIMM) and an advanced integration module (AIM) in the Cisco 1841 router. It contains the following subsections:

•Opening the Chassis, page 11-2

•Locating Modules, page 11-4

•Installing a SODIMM, page 11-5

•Installing an AIM, page 11-6

•Closing the Chassis, page 11-11

All the module replacement procedures in this section require removal of the chassis cover. Before you perform any of the module replacement procedures, disconnect the power and remove the cover as described in the “Opening the Chassis” section on page 11-2. After you complete the module replacement procedures, install the chassis cover as described in the “Closing the Chassis” section on page 11-11.

Step 1 Make sure that the router is turned off and is disconnected from AC power.

Step 2 Turn the router upside down, and rest the top of the router on a flat surface.
