Warning Only trained
and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service
this equipment. |
Required Tools
These tools are required to upgrade the memory on the Catalyst 6500 series DFC or DFC3A:
- 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver for the captive installation screws on the module on which the DFC or DFC3A is installed
- Antistatic mat or antistatic foam
- Your own ESD-prevention equipment or the disposable grounding wrist strap included with all upgrade kits, field-replaceable units (FRUs), and spares
 |
Caution Always
use an ESD wrist strap when handling modules or coming into contact with
internal components. |
Verifying the DFC/DFC3A Memory
The Catalyst 6500 series DFC has a default memory configuration of 128 MB with Error Checking and Correction (ECC) (single-bit error detection and correction; 2-bit error detection) and is upgradeable to 256-MB ECC or 512-MB ECC.
The Catalyst 6500 series DFC3A has a default memory configuration of 512 MB double data rate (DDR) with ECC.
To verify the memory configuration on the DFC or DFC3A, enter the remote command module mod show memory summary command, where mod is the module with an installed DFC or DFC3A. Add the processor and I/O totals to get the total memory for the DFC or DFC3A.
This example shows how to check the total memory on the DFC on a fabric-enabled module in slot 9:
Router# remote command module 9 show memory summary
Head Total(b) Used(b) Free(b) Lowest(b) Largest(b)
Processor 31C5BFC0 205144128 127792712 77351416 65520524 64818696
I/O E000000 33554440 5987288 27567152 27567152 27567100
This example shows the total memory on the DFC is 256 MB.
Removing the SODIMM
|
Caution During
this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card.
Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or
you could shock yourself. |
To remove the existing SODIMM, follow these steps:
Step 1 Make sure that you take the necessary precautions to prevent ESD damage.
Step 2 Remove the module with the DFC or DFC3A from the system. (Refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Module Installation Guide for removal instructions.)
Step 3 Place the module on an antistatic mat or pad.
Step 4 Locate the SODIMM. (See Figure 1 for the DFC and Figure 2 for the DFC3A.)
Figure 1 Location of SODIMM on a DFC
Figure 2 Location of SODIMM on a DFC3A
Step 5 Release the spring clips from the SODIMM, and release the SODIMM from the socket. (See Figure 3.)
Figure 3 Releasing the SODIMM Spring Clips
Step 6 When both ends of the SODIMM are released from the socket, grasp the ends of the SODIMM with your thumb and forefinger and pull the SODIMM completely out of the socket.
|
Caution SODIMMs
are sensitive components that are susceptible to ESD damage. To prevent
ESD damage, handle SODIMMs by the edges only; avoid touching the memory
modules, pins, or traces (the metal fingers
along the connector edge of the SODIMM). (See Figure 4.) |
Step 7 Place the SODIMM in an antistatic container to protect it from ESD damage.
This completes the SODIMM removal procedure. Proceed to the next section to install the new SODIMM.
Installing the New SODIMM
|
Caution SODIMMs
are sensitive components that are susceptible to ESD damage. To prevent
ESD damage, handle SODIMMs by the edges only; avoid touching the memory
modules, pins, or traces (the metal fingers
along the connector edge of the SODIMM). (See Figure 4.) |
Figure 4 Handling a SODIMM
Follow these steps to install the new SODIMM:
Step 1 Remove a new SODIMM from the antistatic container.
Step 2 Hold the SODIMM component side up, with the connector edge (the metal fingers) away from you.
Step 3 Hold the sides of the SODIMM between your thumbs and forefingers. (See Figure 4.)
Step 4 Tilt the SODIMM to approximately the same angle as the socket, and insert the connector edge into the socket.
|
Caution When
inserting SODIMMs, use firm but not excessive pressure. If you damage a
socket, you will have to return the DFC or DFC3A to the factory for repair. |
Step 5 Press the SODIMM down until it is secured by the spring clips. (See Figure 5.)
Figure 5 Installing the SODIMM
Step 6 When the SODIMM is installed, check the two alignment holes and ensure that the spring retainer is visible. If it is not, the SODIMM is not seated properly. If any SODIMM appears misaligned, carefully remove it and reseat it in the socket. Push the SODIMM firmly back into the socket until the retainer springs snap into place.
Step 7 Reinstall the module. (Refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Module Installation Guide for removal instructions.)

Technical Assistance Center
The Cisco TAC is available to all customers who need technical assistance with a Cisco product, technology, or solution. Two levels of support are available: the Cisco TAC website and the Cisco TAC Escalation Center. The avenue of support that you choose depends on the priority of the problem and the conditions stated in service contracts, when applicable.
We categorize Cisco TAC inquiries according to urgency:
- Priority level 4 (P4)�You need information or assistance concerning Cisco product capabilities, product installation, or basic product configuration.
- Priority level 3 (P3)�Your network performance is degraded. Network functionality is noticeably impaired, but most business operations continue.
- Priority level 2 (P2)�Your production network is severely degraded, affecting significant aspects of business operations. No workaround is available.
- Priority level 1 (P1)�Your production network is down, and a critical impact to business operations will occur if service is not restored quickly. No workaround is available.
Cisco TAC Website
You can use the Cisco TAC website to resolve P3 and P4 issues yourself, saving both cost and time. The site provides around-the-clock access to online tools, knowledge bases, and software. To access the Cisco TAC website, go to this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/tac
All customers, partners, and resellers who have a valid Cisco service contract have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC website. Some services on the Cisco TAC website require a Cisco.com login ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a login ID or password, go to this URL to register:
http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do
If you are a Cisco.com registered user, and you cannot resolve your technical issues by using the Cisco TAC website, you can open a case online at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/index.html
If you have Internet access, we recommend that you open P3 and P4 cases through the Cisco TAC website so that you can describe the situation in your own words and attach any necessary files.
Cisco TAC Escalation Center
The Cisco TAC Escalation Center addresses priority level 1 or priority level 2 issues. These classifications are assigned when severe network degradation significantly impacts business operations. When you contact the TAC Escalation Center with a P1 or P2 problem, a Cisco TAC engineer automatically opens a case.
To obtain a directory of toll-free Cisco TAC telephone numbers for your country, go to this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml
Before calling, please check with your network operations center to determine the level of Cisco support services to which your company is entitled: for example, SMARTnet, SMARTnet Onsite, or Network Supported Accounts (NSA). When you call the center, please have available your service agreement number and your product serial number.
