70 Chapter 4 Installing option cards and DIMMs
Installing and replacing DIMMs
The VPN Router 2700 has two slots for dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) (Figure 22 on page 63). Unless you ordered additional memory, Nortelships the VPN Router 2700 with one 256 MB DIMM installed. You can upgrade memory in the gateway by installing a second 256 MB DIMM.
Caution: Use of a memory module not purchased from Nortel can render void your warranty or your service contract.
This section provides instructions on adding a second DIMM to the VPN Router 2700 or, if necessary, replacing an existing DIMM.
Caution: Install the same type of DIMM that is already installed in the gateway. For example, do not install a 128 MB DIMM in the VPN Router 2700.
To install or replace a DIMM:
1Shut down the VPN Router 2700 using the Web GUI or the CLI, and then unplug it as described in “Shutting down the system to add or replace hardware” on page 60.
Warning: Risk of electric shock
Turn off the VPN Router 2700 and unplug it before you attempt to install a DIMM.
2Remove the front bezel from the chassis, and then remove the chassis from the equipment rack (see “Removing the front bezel and top cover” on page 61).
3Remove the top cover from the chassis (see “Removing the front bezel and top cover” on page 61).
