The IDS-4210, IDS-4210-K9, IDS-4210-NFR, and IDS-4220-E sensors must
have 512 MB RAM to support Cisco IDS 4.1 software. If you are upgrading an
existing IDS-4210, IDS-4210-K9, IDS-4210-NFR, or IDS-4220-E sensor to
version 4.1, you must insert additional Dual In-line Memory Modules (DIMMs)
(see part numbers below for supported DIMMs) to upgrade the memory to the
required 512 MB minimum.
The following DIMMs are supported:
For IDS-4210 sensors, you insert one additional 256 MB DIMM (Part number
•
IDS-4210-MEM-U) for a total of 512 MB.
For the IDS-4220-E sensor, you insert two additional 128 MB DIMMs (Part
•
number IDS-4220-MEM-U) for a total of 512 MB.
Do not install an unsupported DIMM. Doing so nullifies your warranty.
Be sure to read the safety warnings in the Regulatory Compliance and Safety
Information for the Cisco Intrusion Detection System 4200 Series Appliance
Sensor and follow proper safety procedures when performing these steps.
To upgrade the memory, follow these steps:
Log in to the CLI.
Prepare the appliance to be powered off:
sensor# reset powerdown
Wait for the power down message before continuing with Step 3.
You can also power down the sensor from IDM or IDS MC.
Note
Power off the appliance.
Remove the power cord and other cables from the appliance.
Place the appliance in an ESD-controlled environment.
