DRAM and Boot ROM's
There's a 4MB DRAM SIMM on my 2501. In a previous e-mail (8/27 by John Hardman) I read that almost any 72 pin SIMM's would work as DRAM SIMM's, but no matter which of the about 10 I have lying around works correctly; They all say 1024 Kbytes of main memory when I boot up, even though they vary from 8 to 16 MB. I have been searching for information about this on the Cisco site, but can't really get the facts that I am looking for. FYI, my Boot ROM's are: MX B9536 08-0034-01 FW1 10.2(5) 28058A MX B9536 08-0035-01 FW2 10.2(5) 28057A Would I need to upgrade them before the SIMM's would work? Also, if anyone know of a place where DRAM and Flash SIMM's can be purchased for a good price, please let me know.

RE: DRAM and Boot ROM's
from what I've read, the simms must have parity and someone said that Cisco gear doesn't like double sided simms. I am about to buy some memory for a 2501 and 2505 and would love to hear what you learn.

RE: DRAM and Boot ROM's
Any dram simms with Parity will work (ie ECC memory). From what I can remember (and my memory fades because it's not ecc), you can check if your simms have parity by looking in the top right hand corner where there are 5 or 6 little boxes drawn on the SIMM. If the bottom 3 boxes contain circuit board components, then it is a parity simm. If these boxes are empty, then it's plain old memory. I could be wrong. -Original Message- From: Ole Drews Jensen [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday 29 November 2000 19:03 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: DRAM and Boot ROM's There's a 4MB DRAM SIMM on my 2501.

Re: DRAM and Boot ROM's
I have no idea about the technical questions you asked, but my current favorite place to buy memory is Rocky Mountain Ram (www.ram-it.com). They have exceptional prices and excellent customer service, so far. I've only been dealing with them for a couple of months. There's a 4MB DRAM SIMM on my 2501.
