Memory Capacities
You might need to upgrade memory for the following reasons:
•To upgrade to a new Cisco IOS feature set or release that requires additional memory. (Memory requirements for each feature set and release are available in the release notes for that release.)
•To use very large routing tables, many protocols (as may be required, for example, when the router is part of both a large external network and your internal network), or other memory-intensive features such as spoofing or protocol translations.
This document describes how to upgrade both dynamic memory and compact flash memory. Cisco 3700 series routers use dynamic memory in the form of SDRAM DIMMs (Cisco 3725 router) or SDRAM SODIMMs (Cisco 3745 router). Memory capacities are shown in Table 1.

Memory Configurations
For information on configuring dynamic memory and compact flash memory, see the following sections.
Dynamic Memory
You can configure dynamic memory (SDRAM) as a mixture of primary or main memory that is reserved for the CPU and shared memory that is used for data transmitted or received by modules and WAN interface cards.
To examine current dynamic memory status or reconfigure memory allocation, do the following, as appropriate:
Step 1 To see how much memory is currently installed in your router, enter the show version command in EXEC mode. Near the middle of the resulting output, locate a message similar to the following:
Cisco XXXX processor (revision X) with 24576K/8192K bytes of memory.
This line shows how much memory is installed (in this example, 24576K/8192K). The first number represents primary memory; the second number represents shared memory.
Step 2 To configure the proportion of SDRAM devoted to main memory and to shared memory, enter the memory-size iomem command in global configuration mode.
Note For information about these and related commands, refer to the Cisco IOS configuration guides and command references. See the "Obtaining Documentation" section for information about these publications.
Dynamic memory resides in one or two sockets in the router chassis. A socket corresponds to one bank of memory. Cisco 3700 series router sockets are as follows:
•Cisco 3725: Two sockets, each of which can support one SDRAM DIMM or be left empty; sockets can be filled in any order
•Cisco 3745: One socket that can support two SDRAM SODIMMs, one on top of the other
SDRAM DIMM and SODIMM sizes allowed in each router type, and the total memory capacity resulting from insertion of one or two DIMMs or SODIMMs, are shown in Table 2.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD can occur when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled, and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing cards. Ensure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground. To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, you must use the wrist strap and cord properly. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. It should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).
Caution Before opening the chassis, be sure that you have discharged all static electricity from your body and the power is off.
Tools and Equipment Needed
You need the following tools and equipment to remove and install DIMMs or SODIMMs in a Cisco 3700 series router:
•Number 2 Phillips screwdriver
•Small flat-blade screwdriver
•ESD-preventive wrist strap
•Antistatic mat

Figure 10 Removing and Installing SDRAM SODIMMs in the Cisco 3745 Router
Step 4 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 5 If necessary, repeat Step 3 and Step 4 to remove the bottom SODIMM.
Step 6 Proceed to the "Installing SDRAM DIMMs" section.
Installing SDRAM SODIMMs
To install SDRAM SODIMMs, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and ensure that it makes good contact with your skin. Connect the equipment end of the wrist strap to the metal back plate of the chassis, avoiding contact with the connectors.
Step 2 On the mainboard, locate the SDRAM SODIMM socket. (See Figure 9.)
Caution Handle the SODIMM by the edges only; do not touch the memory modules, pins, or traces (metal fingers along the connector edge). Handle carefully. SODIMMs are ESD-sensitive components and can be damaged by mishandling.
Step 3 Hold the SODIMM component-side up, with connector edge (the metal fingers) away from you. Keep the sides of the SODIMM between your thumb and middle finger, with your forefinger against the far edge and opposite the connector edge. (See Figure 11.)
Figure 11 Handling a SODIMM
Step 4 Tilt the SODIMM to the same angle as the socket, then insert the connector edge into the socket. Gently push into place until the plastic clips snap into place.
Caution It is normal to feel some resistance when installing a SODIMM, but do not use excessive force and do not touch the surface components.
Step 5 Check the two alignment holds and ensure that the plastic clips are visible. If necessary, carefully remove and reseat the SODIMM.
Step 6 If necessary, repeat Step 3 through Step 5 to install the top SODIMM.
Step 7 Proceed to either of the following as appropriate:
•"Replacing CompactFlash Memory Cards" section
•"Replacing the Cisco 3745 Mainboard" section
Replacing CompactFlash Memory Cards
To install a new CompactFlash memory card, follow these steps:
Step 1 Refer to Installing and Formatting Cisco 2691, Cisco 3631, and Cisco 3700 Series CompactFlash Memory Cards, available online at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_mod/cis3700/hw_inst/hw_notes/
index.htm
Step 2 Proceed to "Replacing the Cisco 3745 Mainboard" section.
Replacing the Cisco 3745 Mainboard
To replace the mainboard, follow these steps:
Step 1 Place the chassis so that the empty mainboard slot faces you.
Step 2 With the ejector levers fully open, carefully insert the mainboard tray into the chassis slot until the connector is engaged. (See Figure 12.)
Figure 12 Inserting the Mainboard into a Cisco 3745 Router
Step 3 Close the ejector levers to fully seat the mainboard connector.
Step 4 With a number 2 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the two captive retention screws, one on either side of the mainboard.
Step 5 Hold the front panel straight out from the chassis, engage the hinges, and close the front panel. (See Figure 13 parts 1 and 2.)

Step 7 Reinstall the chassis on a rack or desktop.
Step 8 Proceed to the "Replacing Connections to the Router" section.
Replacing Connections to the Router
To make final connections to the router, follow these steps:
Step 1 Replace all network connections.
Step 2 Do one of the following:
•AC-powered router: Plug the power cord into a 3-terminal, single-phase power source that provides power within the acceptable range (100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz).
•DC-powered router: Remove the tape from the circuit breaker switch handle and reinstate power by moving the handle of the circuit breaker to the ON position.
Step 3 Turn ON the power switch. The power LED on the front panel of the router should come on.
Step 4 Check the Sys LED on the right side of the front panel to verify that it goes on after a few seconds delay when booting.
Step 5 If you have problems, see the "Obtaining Technical Assistance" section.
Step 6 Proceed to the "Recovering Compact Flash Memory and System Images" section.
Recovering Compact Flash Memory and System Images
If you have increased system compact flash memory or reduced DRAM or SDRAM in a Cisco 3700 series router, you might need to reload the Cisco IOS image, using the xmodem command in ROM monitor mode. To use this command, the computer attached to your console must have a terminal emulator that has xmodem capability.
For complete information about ROM monitor commands, refer to Software Configuration Guide for Cisco 2600 Series, Cisco 3600 Series, and Cisco 3700 Series Routers, available online at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_mod/index.htm
Using the xmodem Command
If the system image is erased from compact flash memory, the xmodem command establishes a connection between a console and the router console or auxiliary port for disaster recovery.
xmodem [filename]—Establishes an xmodem connection between the console and the router. The optional argument filename specifies the source file containing the Cisco IOS image.
Other options are:
-c—Use cyclic redundancy check (CRC-16).
-y—Use Ymodem transfer protocol.
-r—Copy the image to DRAM for launch.
-x—Do not launch image on completion of download.
