Installing and Removing DRAM DIMMs
Cisco 2801 routers have 128 MB of SDRAM installed on the system board. You can install an additional
DIMM in the DIMM connector to expand system memory to a maximum of 384 MB.
Note
The Cisco 2801 uses a different type of DRAM DIMM than the Cisco 2811, Cisco 2821, and Cisco 2851
routers. Refer to the Router Memory Specifications table in the Overview of 2800 Routers chapter for
DRAM information.
Cisco 2811, Cisco 2821, and Cisco 2851 routers have two DIMM connectors and are designed to operate
with either one or two DRAM DIMMs installed, depending on the amount of memory needed. If only
one DRAM DIMM is used, it can be installed in either DIMM connector.
Before you remove or install a DRAM DIMM, remove the chassis cover as described in the “Removing
the Chassis Cover” section on page 2.
Caution
When you remove or install DIMMs, always wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and ensure that it
makes good contact with your skin. Connect the equipment end of the wrist strap to the metal part of the
chassis.
