Upgrading the Memory
IDS-4210, IDS-4210-K9, and IDS-4210-NFR must have 512 MB of RAM to support Cisco IPS 5.0. If
you are upgrading an existing IDS-4210, IDS-4210-K9, or IDS-4210-NFR to 5.0, you must insert one
additional 256-MB DIMM (part number IDS-4210-MEM-U) to upgrade the memory to the required 512
MB minimum.
Do not install an unsupported DIMM. Doing so nullifies the warranty.
