Safety Overview
Safety warnings appear throughout this publication in procedures that may harm you if performed incorrectly. A warning symbol precedes each warning statement.
Installing the SP and RP Memory Upgrade Kit
This section is divided into the following topics:
•
Removing the Supervisor Engine 720
•
Removing and Installing the DRAM DIMMs
•
Installing the Supervisor Engine 720
Warning
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030
Required Tools
The following tools are required to perform the memory upgrade kit installation:
•
Antistatic mat or foam pad to support and protect the removed supervisor engine
•
3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver for the captive installation screws on the supervisor engine
•
Your own ESD-prevention equipment or the disposable grounding wrist strap included with all upgrade kits, field-replaceable units (FRUs), and spares
CautionAlways use an ESD wrist strap when handling modules or coming into contact with internal components.
Warning
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029
Warning
Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when servicing. Statement 1034
Removing the Supervisor Engine 720
To install the DRAM DIMM upgrade, you must first remove the Supervisor Engine 720 from the switch.
The Supervisor Engine 720 is a required system component. If only one Supervisor Engine 720 is present, removing it while the system is operating causes the system to halt. When two Supervisor Engine 720s are installed, hot swapping allows you to remove and replace one of the supervisor engines without turning off the system power.
To avoid erroneous failure messages, note the current configuration of all interfaces before you remove or replace another switching module, and allow at least 15 seconds for the system to reinitialize after a module has been removed or replaced.
CautionAlways use an ESD wrist strap when handling the Supervisor Engine 720 or coming in contact with internal components.
To remove the supervisor engine, follow these steps:
Step 1
Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the supervisor engine.
Step 2
Verify that the captive installation screws on all of the modules in the chassis are tight. This step ensures that the space created by the removed module is maintained.
Note
If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push the modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to reinstall the module.
Step 3
Loosen the two captive screws on the supervisor engine that is to be removed.
Step 4
Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the following two sets of steps:
Horizontal slots
a.
Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers, and simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the supervisor engine from the backplane connector. (See Figure 1.)
b.
Grasp the front edge of the supervisor engine, and slide the supervisor engine partially out of the slot. Place your other hand under the supervisor engine to support the weight of the module. Do not touch the module circuitry. (See Figure 2.)
Vertical slots
a.
Place your thumbs on the ejector levers located at the top and bottom of the supervisor engine, and simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the supervisor engine from the backplane connector.
b.
Grasp the edges of the supervisor engine, and slide the supervisor engine straight out of the slot. Do not touch the module circuitry.
Step 5
Place the supervisor engine on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam.

Figure 2 Removing the Module from the Chassis (Horizontal Chassis Shown)
Removing and Installing the DRAM DIMMs
This section covers the removal of the old DRAM DIMMs and the installation of the DRAM DIMM upgrade. There are two DRAM DIMMs that must be removed and replaced. Figure 3 shows the location of the two DRAM DIMMs on the Supervisor Engine 720.
CautionThe DRAM DIMM is a sensitive component that is susceptible to ESD damage. To prevent ESD damage, wear an ESD grounding wrist strap, and handle the DIMM by the edges only; avoid touching the memory modules, pins, or traces (the metal fingers along the connector edge of the DIMM). (See Figure 4.)
Figure 3 DRAM DIMM Location on the Supervisor Engine 720
Figure 4 Handling a DIMM
To install the DRAM DIMM upgrade kit, perform these steps:
Step 1
Remove the old DRAM DIMM from its socket by pulling the locking spring clips on both sides outward and tilting the DIMM free of the clips. Be careful not to break the clips on the DIMM connector.
Step 2
Holding the DIMM by its edges, gently lift to disconnect it from the DIMM socket, and place the DIMM on an antistatic mat or foam.
Step 3
Remove the upgrade DIMM from the antistatic package.
Step 4
Hold the DIMM between your thumbs and forefingers, with the connector edge (the metal fingers) down, and insert the connector edge of the DIMM into the socket connector.
Note
A notch (key) is located on the right connector edge of the DIMM. (See Figure 5.) This notch key ensures that the DIMM is correctly oriented in the socket.
Step 5
Slide the DIMM into the connector so that none of the metal fingers at the edge of the DIMM are visible under the lining of the connector.
CautionWhen inserting the DIMM, use firm but not excessive pressure. If you damage a socket, you must return the supervisor engine to Cisco for repair.
Step 6
Press down on the edges of the DIMM until the DIMM clicks into place. (See Figure 5.)
Figure 5 Installing the DIMM in the Socket
Installing the Supervisor Engine 720
CautionDuring this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps, and handle modules by the carrier edges only to avoid ESD damage to the module.
To reinstall the Supervisor Engine 720 in the chassis, follow these steps:
Step 1
Verify that the captive installation screws are tightened on all modules installed in the chassis. This action assures that the EMI gaskets on all modules are fully compressed to maximize the space for the removed module.
Note
If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push adjacent modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to install the removed module.
Step 2
Fully open both ejector levers on the supervisor engine that you are installing. (See Figure 6.)
Figure 6 Positioning the Module in a Horizontal Slot Chassis
Step 3
Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the following two sets of stepsfor positioning the module in a chassis with either horizontal or vertical slots:
Horizontal slots
a.
Position the supervisor engine in the slot. (See Figure 6.) Make sure that you align the sides of the module carrier with the slot guides on each side of the slot.
b.
Carefully slide the supervisor engine into the slot until the EMI gasket along the top edge of the module makes contact with the module in the slot above it and both ejector levers have closed to approximately 45 degrees with respect to the module faceplate. (See Figure 7.)
c.
Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, grasp the two ejector levers, and press down to create a small 0.040 inch (1 mm) gap between the supervisor engine's EMI gasket and the module above it. (See Figure 7.)
Note
Do not press down too forcefully on the levers because they will bend and become damaged.
d.
While pressing down, simultaneously close the left and right ejector levers to fully seat the supervisor engine in the backplane connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush with the module faceplate. (See Figure 7.)
Note
Failure to fully seat the module in the backplane connector can result in error messages.
e.
Tighten the two captive installation screws on the supervisor engine.
Note
Make sure that the ejector levers are fully closed before tightening the captive installation screws.
f.
Verify that the STATUS LED is lit.
Periodically check the STATUS LED. If the STATUS LED changes from orange to green, the module has successfully completed the boot process and is now online.
If the STATUS LED remains orange or turns red, the module has not successfully completed the boot process and may have encountered an error.Figure 7 Clearing the EMI Gasket in a Horizontal Slot Chassis
Vertical slots
a.
Position the supervisor engine in the slot. (See Figure 8.) Make sure that you align the sides of the module carrier with the slot guides on the top and bottom of the slot.
b.
Carefully slide the supervisor engine into the slot until the EMI gasket along the right edge of the module makes contact with the module in the slot adjacent to it and both ejector levers have closed to approximately 45 degrees with respect to the module faceplate. (See Figure 9.)
Figure 8 Positioning the Module in a Vertical Slot Chassis
Figure 9 Clearing the EMI Gasket in a Vertical Slot Chassis
c.
Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, grasp the two ejector levers, and exert a slight pressure to the left, deflecting it approximately 0.040 inches (1 mm) creating a small gap between the supervisor engine's EMI gasket and the module adjacent to it. (See Figure 9.)
Note
Do not exert too much pressure on the ejector levers because they will bend and be damaged.
d.
While pressing down on the ejector levers, simultaneously close the levers to fully seat the supervisor engine in the backplane connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush with the module faceplate.
e.
Tighten the two captive installation screws on the supervisor engine.
Note
Make sure that the ejector levers are fully closed before tightening the captive installation screws.
f.
Verify that the STATUS LED is lit. Periodically check the STATUS LED.
If the STATUS LED changes from orange to green, the module has successfully completed the boot process and is now online.
If the STATUS LED remains orange or turns red, the module has not successfully completed the boot process and may have encountered an error.
