Installing or Replacing an SP Memory Module
SPs, GBICs, and memory modules are separate CRUs. New or
replacement SPs are shipped without memory modules or GBICs.
When you order a memory module or a GBIC with the SP, it will
arrive with the SP; however, it will not be installed on the SP board.
Before you install a new or replacement SP, you must install a
memory module (a new one or one you removed from a returned SP
and saved). When returning a faulty SP, you must remove the
memory modules and GBICs before you return the faulty SP.
Before removing or installing an SP or SP memory module, observe the
following:
•
Read “Avoiding electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage” (page
3-8).
•
Before removing or installing the SP or SP memory module,
attach the clip of the ESD wristband to the ground on the SP or
DPE enclosure; then put the wristband around your wrist with
the metal button against your skin.
Removing an SP
Memory Module
1. Remove the SP from the DPE (see page 3-29), and place it on a
static-free work surface.
2. Remove the memory module (DIMM) from the SP as shown
below.
