Memory Capacities
You might need to upgrade memory for the following reasons:
•To upgrade to a new Cisco IOS feature set or release that requires additional memory. (Memory requirements for each feature set and release are available in the release notes for that release.)
•To use very large routing tables, many protocols (as may be required, for example, when the router is part of both a large external network and your internal network), or other memory-intensive features such as spoofing or protocol translations.
This document describes how to upgrade both dynamic memory and compact flash memory. Cisco 3700 series routers use dynamic memory in the form of SDRAM DIMMs (Cisco 3725 router) or SDRAM SODIMMs (Cisco 3745 router). Memory capacities are shown in Table 1.

Memory Configurations
For information on configuring dynamic memory and compact flash memory, see the following sections.
You can configure dynamic memory (SDRAM) as a mixture of primary or main memory that is reserved for the CPU and shared memory that is used for data transmitted or received by modules and WAN interface cards.
To examine current dynamic memory status or reconfigure memory allocation, do the following, as appropriate:
Step 1 To see how much memory is currently installed in your router, enter the show version command in EXEC mode. Near the middle of the resulting output, locate a message similar to the following:
Cisco XXXX processor (revision X) with 24576K/8192K bytes of memory.
This line shows how much memory is installed (in this example, 24576K/8192K). The first number represents primary memory; the second number represents shared memory.
Step 2 To configure the proportion of SDRAM devoted to main memory and to shared memory, enter the memory-size iomem command in global configuration mode.
Note For information about these and related commands, refer to the Cisco IOS configuration guides and command references. See the “Obtaining Documentation” section on page 27 for information about these publications.
Dynamic memory resides in one or two sockets in the router chassis. A socket corresponds to one bank of memory. Cisco 3700 series router sockets are as follows:
•Cisco 3725: Two sockets, each of which can support one SDRAM DIMM or be left empty; sockets can be filled in any order
•Cisco 3745: One socket that can support two SDRAM SODIMMs, one on top of the other
SDRAM DIMM and SODIMM sizes allowed in each router type, and the total memory capacity resulting from insertion of one or two DIMMs or SODIMMs, are shown in Table 2.

Cisco IOS software on Cisco 3700 series routers is stored in two CompactFlash memory cards—one external and one internal. Memory cards come with 32-, 64-, or 128-MB of memory.
To determine how much compact flash memory is installed in your router, enter the show flash command in EXEC mode.
Note To install a new CompactFlash memory card, refer to Installing and Formatting Cisco 2691, Cisco 3631, and Cisco 3700 Series CompactFlash Memory Cards, available online at the following URL:

Safety Recommendations
Warning Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface. Statement 1037
Warning Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.
Statement 1001
Warning To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. Statement 1021
Warning Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of whether power to the unit is OFF or ON. To avoid electric shock, use caution when working near WAN ports. When detaching cables, detach the end away from the unit first. Statement 1021
Warning Connect the unit only to DC power source that complies with the safety extra-low voltage (SELV) requirements in IEC 60950 based safety standards. Statement 1033
Follow these guidelines when working on equipment powered by electricity:
•Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room in which you are working. Then, if an electrical accident occurs, you can quickly shut the power off.
•Before working on the router, turn off the power and unplug the power cord.
•Disconnect all power before doing the following:
–Installing or removing a router chassis
–Working near power supplies
–Performing most hardware upgrades
•Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
•Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.
•Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
•If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:
–Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
–Turn off power to the router.
–If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, determine the condition of the victim and then call for help.
–Determine if the victim needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take appropriate action.
