Product Overview
SDRAM
SDRAM stores routing tables, protocols, and network accounting applications, and runs the Cisco IOS software. The default PRP-1 configuration includes 512 MB of error checking and correction (ECC) SDRAM. DIMM upgrades of 512 MB and 1 GB are available for the PRP-1. You cannot mix memory sizes. If two DIMMS are installed, they must be the same memory size.
The default PRP-2 configuration includes 1 GB of ECC SDRAM. DIMM upgrades of 1 GB and 2 GB are available for the PRP-2. You can mix memory sizes as long as the larger DIMM is placed in bank 1 (U15).
Caution Only Cisco-approved memory is supported. Do not attempt to install other devices or non-Cisco approved DIMMs in the DIMM sockets. (See Table 15 on page 74.)
SRAM
SRAM provides 2 MB of parity-protected, secondary CPU cache memory. Its principal function is to be a staging area for routing table updates and for information sent to and from line cards. SRAM is not user configurable or field replaceable.
NVRAM
NVRAM provides 2 MB of memory for system configuration files, software configuration register settings, and environmental monitoring logs. This information is backed up with built-in lithium batteries that retain the contents for a minimum of 5 years. NVRAM is not user configurable or field replaceable.
