Replacing DRAM on the Route Switch Processor
This chapter describes the procedures for upgrading or replacing dynamic random-access memory
(DRAM) on each of the RSPs used in the Cisco 7500 series routers. The RSP2 uses DRAM single in-line
memory modules (SIMMS), and the RSP4 and RSP8 use DRAM dual in-line memory modules
(DIMMS).
All DRAM upgrade procedures are discussed in the following sections:
•
Upgrading or Replacing DRAM SIMMs on the RSP2, page 9-1
•
Upgrading or Replacing DRAM DIMMs on the RSP4 and RSP8, page 9-5
Upgrading or Replacing DRAM SIMMs on the RSP2
This section describes the procedures for replacing up to four DRAM SIMMs on your RSP2. You obtain
the SIMMs from Cisco Systems.
