Inserting or replacing a RAM card in the G450

Note:

Note:

There are two hardware versions of the G450, referred to as 

G450 1.x 

and 

G450 2.x

. G450 1.x is the G450 version with hardware suffix 1, and the G450 2.x 

is the G450 version with hardware suffix 2. The hardware suffix of the G450 is 
printed on the label displayed on the rear of the G450 chassis. 

In cases where the instructions differ depending on the G450 version, 
instructions are given for both versions. 

The G450 has two RAM slots. The basic configuration includes one 256 MB RAM card. 

The slots are located on the G450 main board. You must pull out the main board to remove or 
insert a memory card. The G450 supports hot insertion and removal of the main board without 
power drop. However, all services are suspended while the G450 main board is out, and all 
calls passing through the gateway are disconnected. Any translation and other data that is in 
the running configuration but has not been saved to the startup configuration is lost.

To increase RAM memory in the gateway:

●

In the G450 1.x, insert the 256 MB RAM card provided in the kit into the second RAM slot.

●

In the G450 2.x, remove the RAM card from the main board and replace it with the 512 MB 
RAM card provided in the kit. 

These procedures include the following steps:

1.

Removing the G450 main board

.

2. Upgrading RAM memory:

●

In the G450 1.x, see 

Inserting a G450 1.x RAM card

●

In the G450 2.x, see 

Replacing the G450 2.x RAM card
