Chapter 4 Removing and Replacing FRUs

Supervisor Memory Upgrade

Step 3 Hold the miniDIMM component-side up, with connector edge (the metal fingers) away from you. Keep the sides of the miniDIMM between your thumb and middle finger, with your forefinger against the far edge and opposite the connector edge. (See Figure 4-27.)

Step 4 Tilt the miniDIMM to the same angle as the socket, then insert the connector edge into the socket. Gently push into place until the metal clips snap into place.

Caution It is normal to feel some resistance when installing a miniDIMM, but do not use excessive force and do not touch the surface components.

Step 5 Check the two alignment holds and ensure that the metal clips are visible. If necessary, carefully remove and reseat the miniDIMM.

Step 6 If you are upgrading memory from 512 Mb to 1 Gb and you have removed the miniDIMM in u39, replace it as in steps 3-5.

Step 7 Replace the supervisor engine in the switch.
