Upgrade Installation Note
Part Number: MEM-S1-128MB=
The MEM-S1-128MB= memory upgrade kit consists of 2 64-MB dynamic random-access memory
(DRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). The memory upgrade kit upgrades the total supervisor
engine memory from 64 MB (2 32-MB DIMMs) to 128 MB (2 64-MB DIMMs).
This publication describes how to remove and install the DRAM DIMMs on the following Catalyst 6500
series supervisor engines:
WS-X6K-S1A-MSFC2
•
WS-X6K-SUP1A-PFC
•
WS-X6K-SUP1A-2GE
•
The WS-X6K-SUP1A-2GE shipped since June 2004 has 128 MB installed as default. Enter the
Note
show version mod command to display the total DRAM installed on the supervisor engine.
WS-X6K-SUP1A-MSFC—See the following Note statements for information about the
•
MEM-S1-128MB-UPG= upgrade kit for the WS-X6K-SUP1A-MSFC.
With the exception of WS-X6K-SUP1A-MSFC, all other Supervisor Engine 1A modules can upgrade to
Note
128-MB DRAM using the MEM-S1-128MB= upgrade kit. To upgrade to 128-MB DRAM on the
WS-X6K-SUP1A-MSFC, use the MEM-S1-128MB-UPG= upgrade kit which also includes an MSFC2
