Step 5
Use light insertion force and insert smoothly, but ensure that the DIMM is inserted straight. If necessary, rock
the DIMM gently back and forth to seat it properly. The following figure shows how to install the DIMM in
the DIMM socket.

Step 6
After the DIMM is installed, check whether the release levers are flush against the sides of the DIMM socket.
If they are not, the DIMM might not be seated properly. If the DIMM appears misaligned, carefully remove
it according to the removal procedure and then reseat it in the socket. Push the DIMM firmly back into the
socket until the release levers are flush against the sides of the DIMM socket.
Step 7
Replace the chassis top cover:
a) Slide the cover onto the chassis ensuring that the interlock hook feature fits on the chassis cover and base.
b) Install the top surface screws and the side screws and tighten them slightly.
Step 8
Install the power supplies into the chassis and power up the router. See:

What to Do Next
After you have correctly installed the DIMMs, the system should reboot properly.
If the system fails to reboot properly or if the console terminal displays a checksum or memory error after
you have installed the new DIMMs, ensure that all DIMMs are installed correctly. If necessary, shut down
the system and remove the chassis cover. Check the DIMMs by looking straight down on them to inspect
them at eye level. The DIMMs should be aligned at the same angle and the same height when properly installed.
If a DIMM appears to stick out or rest in the socket at a different angle from the other, remove the DIMM
and reinsert it. Replace the top chassis cover, and reboot the system for another installation check.
