Removing and Replacing the Cisco ASR 1000 Series DIMM
Memory Modules
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers support the Cisco ASR1000-RP1 and the Cisco ASR1000-RP2 route processor
DIMM memory modules for system DRAM. This section describes how to replace the DIMMs on the Cisco
ASR1000-RP1, the Cisco ASR1000-RP2 route processors, the Cisco ASR 1001, and the Cisco ASR 1002-X
routers.
The following table shows the Cisco ASR1000-RP1 and Cisco ASR1000-RP2 memory design.

You might need to upgrade the DIMM for the following reasons:
• You have upgraded to a new Cisco IOS feature set or release that requires more memory.
• You are using very large routing tables or many protocols.

Removing and Replacing the DIMM Memory Modules on the Cisco ASR 1006
Router and the Cisco ASR 1013 Router
The Cisco ASR 1006 Router and the Cisco ASR 1013 Router have redundant RPs. The following is an
overview of the steps to remove and replace the DIMM memory modules on these routers:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Remove the standby RP by performing the procedure described in the xref “Removing the Cisco ASR
1000 Series Route Processor from the Cisco ASR 1006, Cisco ASR 1004, and Cisco ASR 1013 Routers”
section.
2. Remove the DIMM memory module from the standby RP by performing one of the following procedures:
• Removing and Replacing the Cisco ASR1000-RP1 DIMM Memory Modules
Removing the Cisco ASR1000-RP2 DIMMs
Removing and Replacing FRUs from the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers
