Removing and Replacing the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router DIMM Memory Modules
Step 3
Remove the new DIMM from the antistatic bag.
Step 4 Hold the DIMM component-side up, with the connector edge (the metal fingers) closest to you. Hold the ends of the
DIMM between your thumb and forefinger. See the following figure.

Step 5 Align the DIMM with the socket, and insert the connector edge into the socket. Note the two notches (keys) on the
connector edge of the DIMM. These keys are intended to ensure correct orientation of the DIMM in the socket.
When inserting DIMMs, use firm but not excessive pressure. If you damage a socket, you will have to return
Caution
the module for repair.
Step 6
Note the orientation of the socket key on the DIMM and the DIMM socket, and gently push the DIMM into the socket
until the lever is flush against the side of the DIMM socket, and the DIMM edge connector is fully inserted. If necessary,
rock the DIMM gently back and forth to seat it properly. The following figure shows how to install the DIMM in the
socket.

Step 7 When the DIMM is installed, check that the release lever is flush against the side of the DIMM socket. If it is not, the
DIMM might not be seated properly. If the DIMM appears misaligned, carefully remove it according to the removal
procedure and then reseat it in the socket. Push the DIMM firmly back into the socket until the release lever is flush
against the side of the DIMM socket.
Step 8
Repeat Step 3 through Step 7 for the remaining DIMMs.
Step 9 Replace the module.
