Only RPs that meet the following prerequisites support the larger (16-MB) SIMMs:
•
If your system contains Software Release 9.17, the minimum requirements are:
— Software Release 9.17(8) (or a later 9.17 image) in ROM
— System Bootstrap Version 4.6(7.3) (or a later 4.6 version)
— RP board revision B0 or later
RPs that shipped from the factory with Release 9.17(7) or earlier in ROM do not support
Note
16-MB SIMMs. Software Release 9.17(8), RP board revision B0, and System Bootstrap Version
4.6(7.3) started shipping as the default in March 1994.
•
If your system contains Software Release 9.21, the minimum requirements are:
— Software Release 9.21(3) (or a later 9.21 image) in ROM
— System Bootstrap Version 4.7(2.1) (or a later 4.7 version)
— RP board revision B0 or later
Bootstrap Version 4.6 is used exclusively with Software Release 9.17, and Bootstrap Version 4.7 is
used exclusively with Software Release 9.21. The revision numbers (indicated in parentheses) for
each system bootstrap version are revised independently of other bootstrap versions. Therefore,
4.6(7) can be a later version than 4.7(2).
To verify that your RP supports the larger SIMMs, issue the following commands:
•
Use the show version command to display the system bootstrap version.
7000# show version
GS Software (GS7), Version 9.17(8.1)
Copyright (c) 1986-1994 by cisco Systems, Inc.
Compiled Fri 04-Feb-94
System Bootstrap, Version 4.6(7.3)
If the display indicates that the system bootstrap version is an earlier version of 4.6 than 4.6(7.3),
or an earlier version of 4.7 than 4.7(2.1), your RP will not support 16-MB SIMMs. Contact a
service representative for information about the RP upgrade.
•
Use the show diag slot command to display current hardware and diagnostic information about
the processor installed in the slot you specify. Because the RP always resides in the same (RP)
slot, specify slot 6 for a Cisco 7000 chassis. The third line of the display shows the current
hardware (HW) and board revisions. (Do not confuse the HW revision with the board revision;
you need only verify that the board revision is B0 or later.)
7000# show diag 6
Slot 6:
EEPROM format version 1
Route Processor, HW rev 1.1, board revision B0
Serial number: 00809933
If the display indicates that the RP board revision is earlier than B0, your RP will not support
16-MB SIMMs. Contact a service representative for information about the RP upgrade.
