Step 3
Position the chassis so that you have the most comfortable access to the chassis to remove the DIMM.
Step 4
Locate the DIMMs on the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router. See the following figure.
Step 5
Pull down the DIMM module spring latches to release the corresponding DIMM from the socket. See the following
figure.

Step 6
When both ends of the DIMM are released from the socket, grasp each end of the DIMM with your thumb and forefinger
and pull the DIMM completely out of the socket. Handle only the edges of the DIMM; avoid touching the memory
module, pins, and the metal traces (the metal fingers along the connector edge of the DIMM) along the socket edge.
Step 7
Place the DIMM in an antistatic bag to protect it from ESD damage.
Step 8
Repeat Step 5 through Step 7 for the remaining DIMMs, if required, for your upgrade.
