SDRAM DIMM Removal and Installation DIMM Location and Orientation The two SDRAM DIMM connectors are located on the motherboard and are identified as MEMORY 0 and MEMORY 1 on the Cisco 3825 router, and as MEM0 and MEM1 on the Cisco 3845 router. See Figure 51 and Figure 52 for DIMM locations. DRAM DIMMs have a polarization notch on the mating edge to prevent incorrect insertion. Figure 53 shows the polarization notch on a DRAM DIMM.

SDRAM DIMM Removal and Installation
DIMM Location and Orientation
The two SDRAM DIMM connectors are located on the motherboard and are identified as MEMORY 0
and MEMORY 1 on the Cisco 3825 router, and as MEM0 and MEM1 on the Cisco 3845 router. See
Figure 51
and
Figure 52
for DIMM locations.
DRAM DIMMs have a polarization notch on the mating edge to prevent incorrect insertion.
Figure 53
shows the polarization notch on a DRAM DIMM.

Removing an SDRAM DIMM
To remove an SDRAM DIMM from the motherboard, follow these steps:
Step 1
Pull the latches away from the DIMM at both ends. This lifts the DIMM slightly. Lift the DIMM
completely out of the connector. See
Figure 54
