Chapter 9 Replacing DRAM on the Route Switch Processor
Upgrading or Replacing DRAM DIMMs on the RSP4 and RSP8
Figure 9-5 RSP8 DRAM DIMM Locations
Note Each RSP8 DIMM socket has one plastic lever on one end, which is used to remove the DIMM from its
socket.
Caution To prevent memory problems, DRAM DIMMS must be 3.3V devices. Do not attempt to install
higher-voltage devices (such as those designed for the RSP2) in the RSP8 DIMM sockets.
Table 9-2 lists the various configurations of DRAM DIMMs that are available for the RSP4 and
Table 9-3 lists the various configurations of DRAM DIMMs that are available for the RSP8. These tables
also provide the number of DIMMs for each configuration, and the DRAM banks they occupy. Note
which banks are used given the combinations of available DIMM sizes and the maximum DRAM you
require.
