Installing and Removing Memory

This section contains the following topics:

Installing DIMMs

Removing DIMMs


Caution The memory is not hot-swappable. Before removing or replacing any dual in-line memory module (DIMM), you must first take the Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series appliance out of service, turn off the appliance by pressing the power button, and unplug the AC power cord from the appliance or wall outlet or disconnect the DC power source.


Caution When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For more information on handling these devices, see the "Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage" section on page 2-5.

The appliance provides eight DIMM slots across two branches (0 and 1) of four channels, channel A through Channel D. Channel A consists of DIMM slots A1 and A2, Channel B consists of DIMM slots B1 and B2, Channel C consists of DIMM slots C1 and C2, and Channel D consists of DIMM slots D1 and D2. The slots associated with each channel, are located next to each other. A diagram on the logic board near the DIMM slots illustrates the location of the DIMM slots. Each slot accepts 533/667-MHz stacked Double-Data-Rate 2 (DDR2) Error Correction Code (ECC) or non-ECC unbuffered memory.

DIMMs are populated in pairs and are populated in the following DIMM slot order (see Figure 4-5):

A1 and B1

C1 and D1

A2 and B2

C2 and D2

Figure 4-5 DIMM Slots

DIMMs within a given pair must be identical with respect to size, speed, and organization. However, DIMM capacities can be different between different DIMM pairs. For example, a valid mixed-DIMM configuration may have:

512-MB DIMMs installed in DIMM slots A1 and B1

1-GB DIMMs installed in DIMM slots C1 and D1

The following restrictions apply:

Single-channel mode is supported only with a 512-MB DIMM installed in DIMM slot A1.

For best performance, the number of DIMMs installed should be balanced across both memory branches. For example, a four-DIMM configuration performs better than a two-DIMM configuration and should be installed in DIMM slots A1, B1, C1, and D1. An eight-DIMM configuration performs better than a six-DIMM configuration.

Installing DIMMs

To install the DIMMs:


Step 1 Review the information in the "Safety Warnings" section on page x and the "Safety Guidelines" section on page 2-2.

Step 2 Power down the appliance and all external devices. Disconnect the AC power cord or DC power source and all external cables.

Step 3 Attach the antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and connect its cord to the ESD socket on the top, left-hand side on the front of the appliance.

This section describes how to install a PCI adapter card in the Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 appliance. Before you install an adapter card, review the following information:

Your appliance comes with a Peripheral Component Interconnect-Extended (PCI-X) riser card and a PCI Express (PCIe) riser card. These slots are located in the appliance with a PCI riser assembly. (See the "Removing the PCI Riser Assembly" section, for instructions on how to remove the PCI riser assembly.)

Locate the documentation that comes with the PCI adapter card and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this section.

The PCI riser assembly must be removed before you can remove, replace, or install a PCI adapter card in the Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series appliance:

A PCI-X riser card for full-height, full-length PCI-X adapter cards

A PCI Express (PCIe) riser card with two slots for low-profile PCIe adapter cards

Any PCI-X adapter card can be installed in any PCI-X slot. Only the PCIe x4 adapter card can be installed in a PCIe.

There are no population rules for installing a single low-profile adapter card in the 2U low-profile riser card; a single adapter card can be installed in either PCI Express slot. Each slot supports only an x4 interface. (See Table 4-2 and Table 4-3 for full-height and low-profile adapter card configurations, respectively.)

Installing or Replacing a Power Supply


Caution Your Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series appliance does not have a redundant power supply unless you have purchased an optional second power supply. If there is no second power supply, before replacing an existing power supply, you must first take the appliance out of service. To do so, turn off all external devices connected to the appliance, turn off the appliance by pressing the power button, and unplug the AC power cord or DC power source.


Caution If only one power supply is installed, it must be in the right-hand slot and a power supply blank filler panel must be installed in the left-hand slot to ensure proper cooling. (See location 5 in Figure 1-5 on page 1-9.)


Warning Never install an AC power module and a DC power module in the same chassis. Statement 1050


The Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series appliance can be equipped with either AC or DC power supplies and you can operate the appliance with one or two of these power supplies installed. If you have two AC or DC power supplies, the power supplies create redundancy for the appliance, enabling one to become a backup for the other in case of failure.

Redundant power supplies also enable you to "hot-swap" a power supply, if you need to replace it. In other words, you can replace a power supply while the appliance is running. To maintain hot-swap capability, make sure that there is an active power supply in both appliance slots before replacing (hot-swapping) a power supply.

The AC or DC power supplies are accessible from the rear of the appliance (see locations 4 and 5, respectively, in Figure 1-5 on page 1-9). If the appliance is equipped with only one power supply, the space next the module is occupied with a blank filler panel.


Note Figure 1-5 on page 1-9 shows two different power supplies (one AC and one DC) together in a Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series appliance for illustration purposes, only. An actual configuration cannot combine two different power supplies; the appliance would include either two AC modules (or an AC module and a blank filler panel), or two DC modules (or a DC module and a blank filler panel).


This section includes the following topics

Replacing a Redundant Power Supply

Replacing a Nonredundant Power Supply

Adding a New Redundant Power Supply

Replacing a Redundant Power Supply

If you have two power supplies (AC or DC) installed in your Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series appliance, one of the modules is redundant, enabling you to hot-swap one of the power modules (replace a module without powering down the system), if you need to replace one of the power supplies.

To replace a redundant power supply:


Step 1 Check the status LED on the power supplies (see location 2 in Figure 4-9) to determine which power supply has failed.

Step 2 Disconnect the appropriate AC or DC power source.

Step 5 Slide the new power supply into the appliance chassis until it clicks into place.


Replacing a Nonredundant Power Supply

If your Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series appliance has a single power supply (AC or DC), you can replace that power supply only when the appliance is safely powered down.

To replace a nonredundant power supply module:


Step 1 Turn off all external devices connected to the appliance, turn off the appliance by pressing the power button, and unplug the appropriate AC or DC power source.

Step 2 Press and hold the green safety lock (see location 1 in Figure 4-9) downward to disengage the power supply.

Step 3 Grasp the handle (see location 3 in Figure 4-9) and pull the power supply from the appliance chassis.

Step 4 Slide the new power supply into the appliance chassis until it clicks into place.


Adding a New Redundant Power Supply


Note Add a redundant power supply module for the Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series appliance must be of the same type (AC or DC) as the existing module.


To add an additional power supply module to an appliance that has a single power supply:


Step 1 Remove the blank filler panel from the rear panel by pressing the two release tabs toward each other (see location 1 in Figure 4-10).

Step 2 Pull the blank filler panel from the appliance chassis.
