Upgrading Memory on a Line Card
Step 5 Gently insert the DIMM into the socket until the release lever is flush against the side of the socket. If necessary, rock the DIMM back and forth gently to ensure that it is fully seated.
Caution When inserting DIMMs into a socket, apply firm, but not excessive, pressure. If you damage a DIMM socket, you must return the line card to the supplier for repair.
Step 6 Verify that the release lever is flush against the side of the socket. If it is not, the DIMM might not be seated properly.
If the module appears misaligned, carefully remove it and reseat it, ensuring that the release lever is flush against the side of the DIMM socket.
Repeat this procedure for any remaining DIMM(s) that you want to install to complete your desired memory configuration.
Proceed to the following section to reinstall the line card in the router.
Reinstalling a Line Card in the Router
To reinstall a line card in your router, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Put on an antistatic wrist strap and make sure that it makes ample contact with your skin. Insert the equipment end of the wrist strap (the banana jack) into the ESD socket in the lower left corner of the upper card cage.
Step 2 Grasp the faceplate of the line card with one hand and place your free hand under the card carrier to support the weight of the card; position the card for insertion into the card cage slot.
Step 3 Gently insert the card into the slot until the card ejector levers make contact with the lip of the card cage.
Step 4 Grasp the card ejector levers at the top and bottom of the line card faceplate and pivot them inward until they are perpendicular to the faceplate. This action firmly seats the card in the backplane.
Step 5 Tighten the captive screws at the top and bottom of the line card faceplate.
