Chapter 4 Removing and Replacing FRUs

Supervisor Memory Upgrade

Supervisor Memory Upgrade

This section describes how to perform a memory upgrade. You might need to upgrade memory on the Supervisor Engine 6-E for the following reasons:

To upgrade to a new Cisco IOS feature set or release that requires additional memory. (Memory requirements for each feature set and release are available in the release notes for that release.)

To use very memory-intensive features.

This document describes how to upgrade dynamic memory. The Supervisor Engine 6-E ships with 512 MB and can be upgraded to 1 GB in the form of an SDRAM miniDIMM.

Tools and Equipment Needed

You need the following tools and equipment to remove and install miniDIMMs in a Supervisor Engine 6-E:

Number 2 Phillips screwdriver

Small flat-blade screwdriver

ESD-preventive wrist strap

Antistatic mat

Removing Memory

You will not need to remove the base memory to perform a memory upgrade, but it may make installing the new memory easier. This procedure presumes you have already removed the supervisor engine from the switch. To remove an SDRAM miniDIMM:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and ensure that it makes good contact with your skin. Connect the equipment end of the wrist strap to the metal back plate of the chassis, avoiding contact with the connectors.

Step 2 On the mainboard, locate the SDRAM miniDIMM sockets. (See Figure 4-25.)
