Figure 6-3 SDRAM card replacement process
SDRAMs are main board components that you can expand or upgrade as needed.
Generally, you need to do that in the following situations:
More memory is required for the upgraded application image, maintaining a large
routing table, or processing memory-consuming tasks.
The existing SDRAM is damaged.
