Cisco 1800 series fixed-configuration routers have 128 MB of DDR SDRAM installed on the system board. You can install an additional DIMM in the DIMM connector to expand system memory to a maximum of 384 MB.
Before you remove or install a DIMM, remove the chassis cover as described in the "Removing the Chassis Cover" section.
Follow these steps to remove a DIMM from the system board:
Step 1 Locate the DIMM on the system board. Figure 7-2 shows the location of the DIMM connector.
Step 2 Pull the latches away from the DIMM at both ends; pulling the latches away lifts the DIMM slightly. Now you can lift the DIMM out of the connector. See Figure 7-3.

Step 3 Place the DIMM in an antistatic bag to protect it from ESD damage.
Follow these steps to install a DIMM in a Cisco 1800 series fixed-configuration router:
Step 1 Locate the DIMM on the system board. See Figure 7-2 for the location of the DIMM connector.
Step 2 Remove any existing DIMM by gently pulling the spring-loaded clips on the end of the socket far enough to clear the DIMM, and then gently pulling the DIMM up and away from the socket. See Figure 7-3.
Step 3 Insert the DIMM into the DIMM socket, as shown in Figure 7-4.

Step 4 Firmly press the DIMM into the socket until the spring-loaded clips on the socket snap over the end of the DIMM.
The inline power supply option for the Cisco 1800 series fixed-configuration routers includes an inline power supply card that must be installed inside the router, and an external power supply. Perform the following steps to install the inline power supply card. See Figure 7-2 for the locations of connectors and other components within the router.
Warning Voltages that present a shock hazard may exist on Power over Ethernet (PoE) circuits if interconnections are made using uninsulated exposed metal contacts, conductors, or terminals. Avoid using such interconnection methods, unless the exposed metal parts are located within a restricted access location and users and service people who are authorized within the restricted access location are made aware of the hazard. A restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key or other means of security. Statement 1072
Warning Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074
Step 1 Find the metal standoff attachment locations on the system board, which are indicated by a star pattern surrounding each of the three holes in the system board.
Step 2 Install the three metal standoffs into the system board in the metal standoff attachment locations (denoted by a star pattern around the holes). Use a 1/4-inch nut driver to tighten the standoffs.
Step 3 Place the inline power supply card on top of the three metal standoffs, lining up the metal standoffs with the screw holes in the inline power supply card.
Step 4 Insert the screws provided in the accessory kit through the inline power supply card and into the metal standoffs. Carefully tighten the screws with a Phillips screwdriver.
After you install the inline power supply card in the router, install the router cover and connect the inline power supply to the power connector on the back of the router.
The Cisco 1800 series fixed-configuration router has a cover that slides onto the chassis from the back of the chassis. Follow these steps to install the chassis cover on a Cisco 1800 series fixed-configuration router:

Step 2 Replace the cover screw that you removed when you opened the chassis. See the "Removing the Chassis Cover" section.
This section describes how to install and replace CompactFlash cards in Cisco 1800 series fixed-configuration routers. It contains the following sections:
•Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
•Removing a CompactFlash Memory Card
•Installing a CompactFlash Memory Card
CompactFlash memory cards are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. ESD damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are handled improperly, results in complete or intermittent failures.
To prevent ESD damage, follow these guidelines:
•Always use an ESD wrist strap, and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
•Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.
•Place a removed CompactFlash memory card on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding bag. If the card will be returned to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.
•Avoid contact between the card and your clothing. The wrist strap protects the card from ESD voltages on the body only; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
•Do not remove the wrist strap until the installation is complete.
To remove a CompactFlash memory card from the chassis, perform the following steps. See Figure 7-5.
Step 1 Press the ejector button next to the CompactFlash memory card. The ejector button moves outward so that it projects from the panel.
Step 2 Press the ejector button again. This ejects the CompactFlash memory card partway out of its slot.
Step 3 Pull the CompactFlash memory card out of its slot.
Step 4 Push the ejector button in until the button is flush with the bezel.

To install a CompactFlash memory card, perform the following steps (see Figure 7-5):
Step 1 Make sure that the ejector button is pressed flush with the front panel, so that it does not project beyond the panel.
Note If the ejector button is projecting beyond the panel, push it in until it is flush with the bezel.
Step 2 Insert the CompactFlash memory card into the slot until it is fully seated. The ejector button remains flush with the panel.
Note If the ejector button is projecting from the panel after you insert the CompactFlash memory card, remove the CompactFlash memory card, press the ejector button until it clicks, and reinsert the CompactFlash memory card.
