PRP SDRAMThe PRP uses Error Checking and Correction (ECC) Synchronized Dynamic
Random Access Memory (SDRAM) to store routing tables, protocols, network
accounting applications, and to run Cisco IOS software.
Tabl e 1-2 lists the DRAM configurations for the PRP. If you are using:
•One DIMM—Bank 1 (U15) must be populated first.
•Two DIMMs—You cannot mix memory sizes; both banks must contain the
same size DIMM.
Caution DRAM DIMMs must be 3.3-volt, 60-nanosecond devices only. Do not attempt to
install other devices in the DIMM sockets. To prevent memory problems, use the
Cisco approved memory products listed in Table 1 -2.
PRP SRAMStatic Random Access Memory (SRAM) provides 2 MB of secondary CPU cache
memory. Its principal function is to act as a staging area for routing table updates,
and for information sent to and received from the line cards. SRAM is not
user-configurable and cannot be upgraded in the field.
