Warning No operator-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel. Statement 81
Follow these guidelines when working on equipment powered by electricity:
•Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room in which you are working. Then, if an electrical accident occurs, you can quickly shut the power off.
•Before working on the router, turn off power to the router and unplug the power cord.
•Disconnect all power before doing the following:
–Installing or removing a router chassis
–Working near power supplies
•Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
•Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.
•Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:
•Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
•Turn off power to the router.
•If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, determine the condition of the victim and then call for help.
•Determine if the victim needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take appropriate action.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It can occur when 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 guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must be used 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, which should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm).
Opening the Chassis of a Desktop Router
To upgrade router memory, you must open the chassis. Follow the steps below to open the chassis of a Cisco 1720, Cisco 1721, Cisco 1750, or Cisco 1751 router.
Opening the chassis requires a number 1 Phillips screwdriver.
Step 1 Make sure the router is turned off and is disconnected from the power supply.
Step 2 Turn the router upside down, and rest the router on a flat surface.
Step 3 Use the Phillips screwdriver to remove the four screws that hold the top and bottom of the chassis together, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 9 Mini-Flash Module
Take the following steps to install a mini-flash module on the motherboard:
Step 1 Locate the module slot on the motherboard, shown in Figure 4 or Figure 6.
Step 2 Hold the module with the notched edge away from you.
Step 3 Insert the module into the module slot at a 45-degree angle, as shown in Figure 10 below.
Step 4 Press down firmly on the module until you hear a clicking sound and the module is firmly inserted in the slot.
Figure 10 Installing a Mini-Flash Module
Removing a Mini-Flash Module
Take the following steps to remove a mini-flash module:
Step 1 Insert your index finger between the mini-flash module and the mini-flash module release lever, as shown in Figure 11 below.
Step 2 Firmly pull the release lever away from the module until the module pops up and away from the module slot.
Figure 11 Removing a Mini-Flash Module
Installing a Dual In-Line Memory Module
You can install a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) to increase the amount of dynamic RAM (DRAM) in the Cisco 1720, Cisco 1721, Cisco 1750, Cisco 1751, or Cisco 1760 routers.
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the router. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself. Statement 94
Take the following steps to install a DIMM on the router motherboard:
Step 1 Locate the DIMM slot on the motherboard of your router. (See Figure 4 through Figure 8 for the location on your router.)
Step 2 Remove any existing module (the Cisco 1751 router has a blank DIMM) by pulling the DIMM slot guides away from the DIMM and down toward the motherboard.
Step 3 Hold the replacement DIMM with the notched edge away from you and facing the router.
Step 4 Insert the DIMM into the DIMM slot, making sure that the notches on the edge of the DIMM are inserted over the bars inside the DIMM slot, as in Figure 12 below.
Step 5 Firmly press the DIMM into the slot until the two slot guides on each side of the slot move up and over the end of the DIMM, as in Figure 12 below. If the guides do not move up over the edge of the DIMM, move them with your hands.
Figure 12 Installing a DIMM
Installing a SIMM
You can install one SIMM to increase the amount of flash memory in the router. Follow these steps to install a SIMM on the router motherboard.
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the router. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself. Statement 94
Take the following steps to install a SIMM on the router motherboard:
Step 1 Locate the SIMM slot on the motherboard. See Figure 8.
Step 2 Remove any existing SIMM by pulling the locking spring clips on both sides outward and tilting the SIMM free of the clips.
Step 3 Face the front panel of the router. Hold the SIMM with the component side toward you.
Caution Handle SIMMs by the card edges only. SIMMs are ESD-sensitive components and can be damaged by mishandling.
Step 4 Position the SIMM so that the indexing slot in the connector (bottom edge) of the SIMM is lined up with the indexing tab inside the SIMM slot. Tilt the SIMM 45 degrees toward the rear of the router, and insert it into the slot. (See Figure 13 below.) Rock it into its vertical position, using the minimum force necessary. When the SIMM is properly seated, the connector springs click into place.
Figure 13 Installing a SIMM
Closing the Chassis of a Desktop Router
After installing memory on the motherboard, follow these steps to close the chassis:
Step 1 If you disconnected the fan from the motherboard as described in the "Opening the Chassis of a Desktop Router" section, reconnect the fan cable to the connector labeled FAN on the motherboard.
Note The fan does not run continuously; it only turns on when the internal temperature of the router becomes too warm.
Step 2 Locate the posts that protrude from the inside of the chassis cover and corresponding openings on the chassis bottom.
Step 3 Line up the posts with the corresponding openings, as shown in Figure 14, and carefully slide the posts into the openings, taking caution not to damage the router motherboard with the posts.
Caution Be careful not to damage the slot guides on the DIMM socket. If the guides are open, caution is necessary while installing the top of the chassis because improper installation can break the guides off the DIMM socket. (The Cisco 1751 router is shipped with a blank DIMM in the slot to keep the guides up and out of the way.)
Step 4 Replace the screws that you removed when opening the chassis. (See Figure 1.)
Figure 14 Closing the Chassis
Closing the Chassis of a Rack-Mount Router
After installing memory or data modules on the motherboard, close the chassis by following these steps:
Step 1 Slide the top cover of the router back on the bottom of the chassis by pushing it in the opposite direction from that shown in Figure 3.
Step 2 Replace the screws that you removed when you opened the chassis. (See Figure 2.)
