Installing a CPU Memory Upgrade in the ASN
To attach the antistatic wrist strap:
1.
Remove the strap, alligator clip, and cable from the package.
2.
Attach (snap) the snap end of the cable to the wrist strap.
3.
Place the strap around your wrist, and adjust the strap to ensur e that the
metal buckle inside the strap touches your skin.
4.
Plug the jack at the other end of the cable into the opening on the
alligator clip.
5.
Attach the alligator clip to any unpainted metal surface on the
component tray.
Removing the ASN Component Tray
Before you can upgrade memory in the ASN, you must remove the component
tray from the ASN chassis. To remove the ASN component tray:
1.
Turn off the ASN, and detach all cables from the back panel.
2.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the two captive screws that fasten the
tray to the chassis (F
igure 1-1).
112944-B Rev. A
3.
Pull the two captive screws and gently slide the tray out of the chassis.
Make sure to hold the sides and bottom of the tray to support it; try to keep the
tray level as you slide it out.
Place the tray on a sturdy work surface.
4.
Caution:
Do not touch any components or modules in the ASN until you ha ve
attached the antistatic wrist strap. Refer to the section “ Attaching the Antistatic
Wrist Strap.”
The net module ports are exposed at the back of the component tray. To perform
maintenance tasks on the ASN components, face the back of the tray.

labels is important because future repairs and upgrades will require that you
correctly identify the memory configuration of your ASN.

6.Pull the captive retaining screws toward you to pull the module partially
out of the chassis. Grasp the module by its edges to remove it from the
chassis.

Caution: Do not touch any components or modules in the Switch Node until
you have attached the antistatic wrist strap. Refer to the section “Attaching the
Antistatic Wrist Strap.”

Installing DRAM SIMMs
When you install DRAM SIMMs, make sure that the SIMMs are the same size.
For example, you can install two 2-MB by 36 SIMMs for a 16-MB configuration;
howev er, do not install one 1-MB by 36 and one 2-MB by 36 SIMM.
Also, make sure that you are using the correct capacity Tag SIMM for your
DRAM configuration (refer to T
You must first install the SIMM closest to the back of the CPU.

Labeling the Switch Node
After you perform the DRAM SIMM upgrade, label the SN CPU with a new
Memory Size label. Af fixing the new label is important because future repairs and
upgrades will require that you correctly identify the current memory configuration
of your SN.
To label your SN:
1.Find the CPU Part Number label on the SN CPU (Figure 2-9).
The CPU Part Number label will read 114252-16 or 114252-32.
2.Apply the Memory Size label to the end of the CPU Part Number label,
making sure that you do not cover any portion of the bar code.
The Memory Size label should be next to the component reference designator
