DRAM configuration is 64 bits wide with parity enabled.
479K bytes of NVRAM.
125440K bytes of ATA System CompactFlash (Read/Write)
Configuration register is 0x820
Router#
Step 4
Add the memory sizes that are displayed in the
show version
command output to calculate the amount
of DRAM in your router.
For example, in the sample
show version
command output shown in
, you would add 231424 KB
and 30720 KB for a total of 262144 KB, or 256 MB, of DRAM.
Tip
To convert from kilobytes (KB) to megabytes (MB), divide the number of kilobytes by 1024.
Step 5
Compare the amount of DRAM in the router to the minimum memory requirements from
.
a.
If the DRAM is equal to or greater than the new system image’s minimum memory requirements,
proceed to the
“Ensuring Adequate Flash Memory for the New System Image” section on page 6
b.
If the DRAM is less than the new system image’s minimum memory requirements, you must
upgrade your DRAM. See the hardware installation guide for your router.
What to Do Next
Proceed to the
“Ensuring Adequate Flash Memory for the New System Image” section on page 6
Ensuring Adequate Flash Memory for the New System Image
This section describes how to check whether your router has enough flash memory to upgrade to the new
system image and, if necessary, how to properly delete files in flash memory to make room for the new
system image. For more information, see
Using Compact Flash Memory Cards
Prerequisites
•
Choose the Cisco IOS release and system image to which you want to upgrade. See the
