Figure 8 Removing the Mainboard Tray from a Cisco 3745 Router
Caution The mainboard is an ESD-sensitive component. To avoid damage, observe all ESD precautions.
Step 8 When you are ready to replace the mainboard tray, see the “Replacing the Cisco 3745 Mainboard”
section on page 24.
Replacing Cisco 3745 SDRAM
SDRAM SODIMM Location and Orientation
The Cisco 3745 router mainboard includes one SODIMM socket, that supports two SDRAM SODIMMs
one on top of the other. You must remove the top SODIMM to gain access to the one on the bottom.
Figure 9 shows the location of dynamic memory—that is, SDRAM SODIMMs—in the Cisco 3745
router.
Caution To avoid damaging ESD-sensitive components, observe all ESD precautions. To avoid damaging the
underlying mainboard, do not use excessive force when you remove or replace SODIMMs.
