the memory upgrade modules, you must:

• Attach the antistatic wrist strap.

• Remove th e ex is ting vi rtual b uffer memory (VBM) module , if one is instal led.

• Install the new VBM module.

• Remove the existing single inline memory modules (SIMMs).

• Install the new SIMMs.

• Attach the upgrade label.
This document describes each of these tasks.

Required Tools

To install the memory upgrade modules, you need the following tools:

• Phillips screwdriver

• Antistatic wrist strap, which comes with the upgrade kit

Shipment Contents

Table 1 lists the components that are part of the 32 MB memory upgrade kit

(Order No. AG1311008) and the 64 MB memory upgrade kit (Order No.
AG1311021). If any parts are damaged or missing, contact the Bay Networks
Technical Solutions Center in your area.

Attaching the Antistatic Wrist Strap

You will find a disposable antistatic wrist strap with each upgrade kit. The
antistatic wrist strap directs the discharge of static electricity from your body to
the chassis of the BN router, thereby avoiding discharge to sensitive electronic
components.

You must wear the antistatic strap whenever you remove, install, and handle the
VBM module or SIMMs.

To attach the antistatic wrist strap:

1.

Remove the stra p from the upgrade kit.

2.

Slip the wrist strap loop over your hand and tighten it snugly around
your wrist.

3.

Attach the alligator clip to the frame of the router.

You can now safely perform the upgrade procedure.

Installing ARE Memory Upgrade Modules

Removing the Virtual Buffer Memory Module

If you are upgrading an ARE pro cessor module from 16 MB to 32 MB or 64 MB,
you must first remove the existing VBM module before you can install the new
one.

If you are upgrading from 8 MB to 32 MB, there is no VBM module to r emov e. In
this case, go to the next section, “Installing the Virtual Buffer M emory Modul e.”

To remove the existing VBM module, you must first remove the ARE processor
module from the router. Refer to Installing and Maintaining BN Routers for
instructions on replacing a FRE

To remove the VBM module:

1.

Turn the ARE module over (component si de down) and place it ge ntl y on
your work surface.

2.

Remove the Phillips screws from each of the four mounting holes.
