The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. The certification means that
the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective operations and safety requirements. The
Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local

some cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means of
a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the
supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment or equipment malfunctions, may give the
telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines

supported by Router Software Version 9.01 and later. To install the memory
upgrade modules, you must

• Install the Virtual Buffer Memory (VBM) module

• Remove the existing Single Inline Memory Modules (SIMMs)

• Install the new SIMMs
This document describes each of these tasks.

Required T ools

You need the following tools to install the memory upgrade modules:

• Phillips screwdriver

• Antistatic wrist strap, which comes with the upgrade kit

This procedure assumes you have already removed the SIMMs from sockets U7
and U14 as described in the previous section.

Your upgrade kit contains two identical SIMMs. To install them:

1.

Grasp one of the SIMMs by the edges, and turn it so the notch at the
center of the SIMM faces the center of socket U7 (F
