Erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM)–based memory—In the Cisco 4500,
Cisco 4500-M, Cisco 4700, and Cisco 4700-M routers only the ROM monitor image is
EPROM-based. The ROM monitor permits you to boot the Cisco IOS image from Flash memory
if a boot helper image is not present in boot Flash memory.

1. The Orion microprocessor is based on the MIPS R4400 and is pin-compatible.
2. DRAM = dynamic random-access memory.
3. NVRAM = nonvolatile random-access memory.
4. ROM = read-only memory.
Warning
AC units; disconnect the power at the circuit breaker on DC units.
