Removing the Boot Helper Flash Memory SIMM
Step 1
Put on 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 lower right corner of the Cisco 4500-M and Cisco 4700 motherboard, locate the
SIMM card socket marked RxBoot Flash memory. (See Figure 5-6.)
Caution
Handle SIMMs by the card edges only. SIMMs are ESD-sensitive components and can be
damaged by mishandling.
Step 3
To lift the SIMM out of its socket, pull the locking spring clips on both sides outward and
tilt the SIMM free of the clips. (See Figure 5-11.)
Proceed to the section “Installing Flash-Memory SIMMs.”
