Replacement of SODIMM on the Cisco uBR10-MC5X20H Line Card
1 Replacing the Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module
![]()
CautionSmall outline dual in-line memory modules (SODIMMs) are ESD-sensitive components and can be damaged due to mishandling. Ensure that it is handled with care during installation and removal.
WarningOnly trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030.
Required Tools and Equipment
•
Number 2 Phillips screwdriver
•
Small flat-blade screwdriver
•
ESD-preventive wrist strap
•
Antistatic mat or static shielding bag
•
Replacement SDRAM SODIMM
Step 1
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and ensure that it makes good contact with your skin.
Step 2
Connect the equipment end of the wrist strap to the metal backplate of the chassis, avoiding contact with the connectors.
Step 3
Unscrew the captive screws on the front of the line card to remove the line card from the Cisco uBR10012 router chassis. Simultaneously, pivot both the ejector levers away from the line card to disengage the card from the backplane.
Step 4
Slide the card out from the chassis and place it on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding bag with the component-side up.
Step 5
Locate the SDRAM SODIMM socket on the line card. (See Figure 1.)

Step 7
Pull the metal clips away with your thumb, bracing your forefingers against the rails. (See Figure 2).
Step 8
When both ends of the SODIMM are released from the socket, grasp the ends of the SODIMM with your thumb and forefinger, and pull it completely out of the socket. Place it in an antistatic bag to protect it from ESD damage.
Step 9
Install the replacement SODIMM by holding the component-side facing up with the connector edge (the metal fingers) away from you. Keep the sides of the SODIMM between your thumb and index finger with your middle finger against the far edge and opposite the connector edge. (See Figure 3.)

CautionIt is normal to feel some resistance when installing a SODIMM. Do not use excessive force or touch the surface components to avoid damage.
Step 11
Check the two alignment holds, and ensure that the metal clips are visible. If necessary, carefully remove and reseat the SODIMM.
Step 12
Align the top and bottom edges of the line card with the guides in the chassis carefully, and then install the line card by sliding the card into the slot.
Step 13
Close the ejector levers to secure the card in the backplane, and tighten the captive screws on the line card.
