    C10200 Memory upgrade


    procedure

    This field notice covers the procedures for upgrading a Casa C10200 CMTS with the
    new 1GB DIMM memory module on the SMM card. This upgrade doubles the
    existing memory on the C10200.

    Device information
    Casa P/N MOD-0013-00, (1GB, DDR1, SODIMM)
    Manufacturer’s part number: VR4DU286428EBKS1

    The upgrade steps are summarized as follows:


    1. Power down the C10200 if the system is non-redundant.
    2. Attach an electrostatic discharge strap (ESD) and then remove the SMM from the
    C10200.
    3. Locate and remove the existing 512MB DIMM from the connector on the SMM.
    4. Install the new 1GB memory DIMM.
    5. Reinstall the SMM in either slot 6 or slot 7 on the C10200.
    6. Reapply power to the C10200 for non-redundant SMM systems.

    Step 1. Power the C10200 off


    If the system is non-redundant where only one SMM is present, you will need to
    power off the system. See the Casa Systems —C10200 Hardware Guide for the
    correct power-off procedure.

    If the system is redundant where there are two SMMs present (slots 6 and 7), you are
    not required to power the system off. You will need to upgrade the redundant SMM
    first, reinstall the SMM, and then pull the active SMM to force a failover to the
    redundant.

    Step 2. Attach an ESD strap and remove the SMM


    See the Casa Systems —C10200 Hardware Guide for the correct procedure for
    attaching an ESD strap and removing the SMM from the C10200 chassis.

    Step 3. Locate and remove the 512MB DIMM


    Figure 1 shows the 512MB DIMM location on the SMM. Once you have removed the
    SMM, locate the DIMM in the upper left quadrant on the card. There is only one
    DIMM present on the SMM.

    Remove the DIMM from its connector by carefully and simultaneously spreading the
    retaining clips that secure the DIMM. As you spread the retaining clips, the DIMM
    will spring up to a 45-degree angle in the connector, as shown in Figure 2.

    Handling the DIMM by the edges, carefully remove the DIMM from its connector.

    Step 4. Install the 1 Gigabyte DIMM


    Using Figure 2 as a reference, handle the DIMM by the edges and carefully position
    the new DIMM into the connector at a 45-degree angle until you feel it snap into
    place. Then, press down on the DIMM until the side retaining clips “catch” and lock
    the DIMM in position.

    The DIMM is now properly installed on the SMM.

    Step 5. Reinstall the SMM


    See the Casa Systems —C10200 Hardware Guide for the correct procedure for
    attaching an ESD strap and installing the SMM in the C10200 chassis.

    If the system is redundant where there are two SMMs present, (slots 6 and 7), you will
    need to repeat Steps 1 to 5 to upgrade the second SMM. Install the SMM that you just
    upgraded, then pull the active SMM to force a failover to the redundant SMM (that
    you just upgraded).

    Step 6. Power the C10200 on


    If the system is non-redundant where only one SMM is present, you will need to
    power on the system. See the Casa Systems —C10200 Hardware Guide for the correct
    power-on procedure.
