To remove the appliance cover, follow these steps:

Step 1 Review the information in the “Safety Warnings and Cautions” section on page 2-1and the “Safety Guidelines” section on page 2-2.

Step 2 Power off the appliance and all attached devices and disconnect all external cables and power cords. Step 3 Remove the WAVE appliance from the rack.

Step 4 Loosen the screw on the top that secures the access panel to the WAVE appliance.

Step 5 Slide the access panel toward the front of the WAVE appliance, then lift it from the WAVE appliance.

Installing Memory Modules

The WAVE-594 appliance supports either 8 GB or 12 GB of memory using 2-GB RDIMM memory modules. The WAVE-694 appliance supports either 16 GB or 24 GB of memory using 4-GB RDIMM memory modules.

Observe the following guidelines when installing additional memory:

•Use only Cisco memory upgrades in your appliance.

•BIOS detects the DIMM population and sets the system to dual-bank interleaved mode (DIMMs installed in both banks with equal bank capacities).
