Inserting or replacing a RAM card in the G450
About this task
Note:
There are two hardware versions of the G450, referred to as G450 1.x and G450 2.x and
greater. The hardware version is the first number of the CS number that is printed on the label
on the front of main board.
In cases where the instructions differ depending on the G450 version, instructions are given for
both versions.
Warning:
Do not insert an additional RAM card into the second slot on the G450 2.x and greater.
The G450 has two RAM slots. The basic configuration includes one 256 MB RAM card.
The slots are located on the G450 main board. You must pull out the main board to remove or insert
a memory card. The G450 supports hot insertion and removal of the main board without power drop.
However, all services are suspended while the G450 main board is out, and all calls passing
through the gateway are disconnected. Any translation and other data that is in the running
configuration but has not been saved to the startup configuration is lost.
To increase RAM memory in the gateway:
• In the G450 1.x, replace the 256 MB card with the 512 MB RAM card provided in the kit.
• In the G450 2.x and greater, remove the RAM card from the main board and replace it with the
512 MB RAM card provided in the kit .
