If you are finished replacing SIMMs, continue with the section "Replacing the Cover" later in this
document.
Upgrading Flash Memory
Cisco 3600 series routers contain one or two 80-pin Flash-memory SIMMs for storing the system
software image. These SIMMs are not interchangeable with DRAM SIMMs. You can upgrade Flash
memory by replacing the existing 4-MB SIMM with an 8-MB SIMM or by adding a SIMM to the
second Flash-memory socket.
SIMMs are manufactured with a polarization notch to ensure proper orientation and alignment holes
to ensure proper positioning, similar to those shown in Figure 9. Cisco 3600 series Flash SIMM
cards are installed with the connector edge down, the polarization notch near the front of the chassis,
and the component side facing the right side of the chassis.
