Installing a DRAM Module

J2320, J2350, J4350 and J6350 Services Routers support 256-MB and 512-MB DRAM modules. Use only DRAM modules purchased from Juniper Networks specifically for your model.

Note: If you are installing a second DRAM module, do not install it in a slot adjacent to the first module. For example, if the first DRAM module is installed in slot 1, install the second module in slot 3 (see Figure 86 and Figure 87).

To install a DRAM module:

1. Take the following steps if you have not already done so:
   1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to the ESD point on the chassis, or to an outside ESD point if the router is disconnected from earth ground. For more information about ESD, see the Getting Started Guide for your router.
   2. Press and release the power button to power off the router. Wait for the POWER LED to turn off.
   3. Unplug the power cord or cable from the power source receptacle.
   4. Remove the screws from the sides and top of the chassis that secure the cover to the chassis.
   5. Slide the cover off the chassis. (For J2320 and J2350 routers, see Removing and Replacing the Chassis Cover on J2320 and J2350 Routers.)
2. Remove the DRAM module from its electrostatic bag.
3. Press the plastic ejectors on both sides of the DRAM slot to open it (see Figure 88).
4. Grasp the DRAM module by the edges, being careful not to touch any electrical components.
5. Pressing firmly on both ends, push the module into the slot until the ejectors click into the closed position (see Figure 88).
6. Slide the cover onto the chassis.
7. Replace and tighten the screws on the sides and top of the chassis that secure the cover to the chassis.
8. Replace the power cord or cable.
9. Press and release the power button to power on the router. Verify that the POWER LED lights steadily.
10. To view the DRAM configuration and verify that it was installed correctly, issue the show chassis routing-engine command, described in the JUNOS System Basics and Services Command Reference. This command shows the total memory installed.
