Chapter 7 NPE-G1 and NPE-G2 Installation and Configuration Information
Installing the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2
Step 5 If the SODIMM appears misaligned, carefully remove it and reseat it in the socket. Push the SODIMM
gently back into the socket until the spring latches snap into place.
You have finished replacing the SDRAM SODIMM. To install the NPE-G1 in the chassis, go to the
“Inserting the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 into the Router” section on page 7-28.
Inserting the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 into the Router
Note If you have difficulty installing a network processing engine or I/O controller in the lowest slot of a Cisco
7200 VXR router that is rack-mounted, remove the port adapters, network processing engine and I/O
controller from the chassis and reinstall them. Install the network processing engine and I/O controller
in the lowest slots first, then populate the slots above them, in a bottom-to-top order.
To insert the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 into the router, follow the instructions in this section:
Step 1 Align the left and right edges of the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 with the chassis slot guides. Figure 7-16 shows
an NPE-G1 being installed into a Cisco 7200 VXR router; inserting an NPE-G2 is similar. Inserting a
Cisco uBR7200-NPE-G1 or Cisco uBR7200-NPE-G2 in a Cisco uBR7200 series router is similar.

Step 2 Gently slide the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 all the way into its chassis slot until you feel the connectors seat
with the router midplane.
Step 3 Seat the NPE-G1 or NPE-G2 in the router midplane by tightening its captive installation screws with a
number 2 Phillips or a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver.
