Removing DIMMs

Make sure that you prepare the Security Management Appliance before you

remove DIMMs. For more information, see Preparing the Security Management

Appliance.

To remove DIMMs from the Security Management Appliance:

1. Put on the ESD strap and attach the other end to a grounding point.

2. Press the two retaining clips outward.

3. Carefully pull the DIMM up.

13

Important - Only touch the rear corners of the DIMM. Pressing on

the heat sink or other DIMM components can damage the hardware.

If necessary, pull one end of the DIMM, then the other, to gradually release

it from the contact pins.

Important - Make sure that there are no leftover parts inside the Security

Management Appliance.

4. Make sure the DIMMs are installed correctly.

a) Replace the Security Management Appliance cover without tightening

the appliance cover screws.

b) Connect the power cords to the Security Management Appliance.

c) Turn on the Security Management Appliance.

d) Make sure that the LCD screen shows the Security Management

Appliance model.

5. Tighten the Security Management Appliance cover screws to secure the

cover on the Security Management Appliance.

Installing DIMMs

You can add more DIMMs to the Smart-1 expansion memory sockets.

Important - The Security Management Appliance contains sharp

metal parts such as the heat sink fin and bracket that can cause

injury or damage the DIMMs.

14

To install DIMMs in the Security Management Appliance:

1. Find the DIMM slots on the system board.

The basic memory configuration of the Security Management Appliance

ships with these DIMMs installed:

• Smart-1 205: 2

• Smart-1 210: 2

• Smart-1 225: 2

• Smart-1 3050: 8

• Smart-1 3150: 8

2. Press on the two white retaining clips outward.

3. Align the new DIMM above the socket.

The top of the DIMM is smooth. The bottom edge has two different-length

sets of contacts, which connect to the slots on the socket.

Important:

• Only touch the top corners of the DIMM. Pressing on the heat sink or

other DIMM components can damage the hardware.

15

• DIMMs are not symmetrical. Use the hole in the DIMM to guide the

DIMM into the raised tooth in the slot.

4. Press the new DIMM into the socket until it clicks into position.

The retaining clips move into the lock position as you press the DIMM into

position.

5. Do steps 1 - 4 again for the other DIMMs.

6. Make sure that there are no leftover parts in the Security Management

Appliance.

7. Make sure the DIMM(s) are installed correctly.

Important - If you removed the RAID Card, replace it and secure the card

with its retention screw.

8. Replace the Security Management Appliance cover without using the

Security Management Appliance cover screws.

9. Connect the power cords to the Security Management Appliance.

10. Turn on the Security Management Appliance.

11. Make sure that the LCD screen shows the Security Management Appliance

model.

12. Use the Security Management Appliance cover screws to secure the cover

on the Security Management Appliance.

16

Attaching the Upgrade Sticker

After you install new DIMMs, attach the upgrade sticker on the Security

Management Appliance.

To attach the upgrade sticker:

1. Make sure that the Security Management Appliance operates correctly.

2. Attach the upgrade sticker on the Security Management Appliance cover.

Make sure that the upgrade sticker does not block the ventilation holes.

Verifying the Memory Configuration

To make sure that the memory configuration is correct:

1. In the CLI, enter Expert mode.

2. Run: # free –g –o

Example for Smart-1 225 with 16GB of memory:

[Expert@gw-419463:0]# free -g -o

total used free shared buffers cached

Mem: 15 0 15 0 0 0

Swap: 16 0 16

Note - The amount of installed memory is shown in the row named

Mem

under the column named total.

For reasons related to available memory address space, the total

installed memory shown in the free utility is similar but not identical

to the actual installed memory.

In the above example, 16GB of RAM are installed on the system. This

corresponds to the 15GB of total memory shown in the free utility.
