Hardware-Software Compatibility and Memory Requirements Whenever you install a new line card, module, or Cisco IOS software image, it is important to verify whether the router has enough memory, and that the hardware and software are compatible with the features you want to use.
When a router runs into problems, the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineer usually asks for this information. It is important to collect the show technical-support command output before you reload or power-cycle your device, because these actions can cause all information about the problem to be lost.
