Removing and Replacing the Cisco ASR 1000 Series DIMM Memory Modules
Step 6
For the DIMM you want to remove, pull down the lever on the DIMM socket to release the DIMM from
the socket. See
Figure 14-26

DIMM Socket Release Lever to Remove the DIMM
Step 7
When one end of the DIMM is released from the socket, grasp each end of the DIMM with your thumb
and forefinger and pull the DIMM completely out of the socket. Handle the edges of the DIMM only;
avoid touching the memory module or pins and the metal traces (the metal fingers along the connector
edge of the DIMM) along the socket edge.
Step 8
Place the DIMM in an antistatic bag to protect it from ESD damage.
Step 9
Repeat Step 5 through Step 8 for the remaining DIMMs if required for your upgrade.
This completes the steps for removing the Cisco ASR1002-X DIMMs from the module.
Replacing the Cisco ASR1002-X Router DIMMs
This section lists the steps to replace the Cisco ASR1002-X Router DIMMs.
Step 1
Place the module on an antistatic mat or pad and ensure that you are wearing an antistatic device, such
as a wrist strap.
Step 2
Position the module so that the faceplate is toward you and the edge connector is away from you.
Caution
DIMMs are sensitive components that can be shorted by mishandling; they are susceptible to ESD
damage. Handle DIMMs by the edges only and avoid touching the pins.
Step 3
Remove the new DIMM from the antistatic bag.
