Removing and Installing Line Card Memory ISE, Engine 4, and Engine 4+ line card packet memory is not field serviceable. Only qualified Cisco Caution personnel should service these memory modules. On ATM ISE line cards, only the route memory in DIMM1 is user replaceable. You must use the same Caution size memory in DIMM1 as installed in DIMM0.
Page 25 “Installing a SODIMM” section on page 29 To install new DRAM or SDRAM DIMMs in a Cisco 12000 Series Router line card, follow these steps: Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect the leash to one of the ESD connection Step 1 sockets on the front of the chassis or to a bare metal surface on the chassis.
Page 26 If the retaining clip is bent or damaged, do not attempt to fix or reuse it. This can cause serious damage Caution to the line card.
