Step5 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.
Step6 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:
Step1 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.
Step2 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.
Step3 Gently insert the card into the slot until the card ejector levers make contact with
the lip of the card cage.
Step4 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.
Step5 Tighten the captive screws at the top and bottom of the line card faceplate.
