Step 6 Use the redundancy force-switchover command to switch the upgraded standby RP to the active state. The RP that was
in the active state moves to the standby state.
Step 7 Repeat Step 1 through Step 5 on the standby RP.
Removing and Replacing the Cisco ASR1000-RP1 DIMM Memory Modules
The Cisco ASR1000-RP1 module memory interface supports two DDR-II SDRAM MiniDIMMs with ECC
protection.
Unlike the Cisco ASR 1006, ASR 1004, and ASR 1013 routers, the DIMM memory interface is not
field-replaceable on the Cisco ASR 1002 router.
Note
This section provides instructions for removing and replacing the Cisco ASR1000-RP1 Mini DIMM memory
modules.
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP memory spares are sold as pairs. For example, the 2 GB memory spare
(M-ASR1K-RP1-2GB=) is sold as a pair of 1 GB modules and the 4 GB memory spare (M-ASR1K-RP1-4GB=)
is sold as a pair of 2 GB modules. Memory repairs or upgrades must utilize the complete memory pairs as
shipped from Cisco. For example, if 1 of the 2 memory modules were to fail on the Cisco ASR 1000route
processor, then both memory modules must be removed and replaced with a spare memory pair (as shipped
from Cisco) and the failing memory should be returned as a pair to Cisco.To prevent the system from operating
incorrectly, do not mix modules from different vendors. The modules might not be compatible with each
other.
Note
During these procedures, 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. Statement 94
Warning
The following table shows the slots that are supported for inserting memory DIMMs in Cisco ASR1000-RP1

Perform the following steps before you begin:
• Use an ESD-preventive wrist strap
• Back up data before replacing a eUSB device.
• The card is keyed and slotted for easier connection.
• Never wiggle the DIMM.
• Handle the connector according to the instructions (see xref Figure 14-15).
