SIMM Upgrade
Switch Settings, Upgrades, and Installations B-3
• After changing the position of switch 6 and restarting the module, the SmartSwitch requests a
new image download until they either receive a new image or the RESET button on the front
panel is pressed. When the RESET button is pressed, the SmartSwitch continues trying to
contact a BootP server, but will time out in approximately one minute. If the module times out,
the image is downloaded from its FLASH memory.
• Switch 7 – Clear NVRAM. Changing the position of this switch resets NVRAM on the next
power up. ALL user entered parameters, such as IP addresses, subnet masks, SNMP traps, and
switching functions are restored to their factory default settings.
• Switch 8 – Reset Password/Community Strings. Changing the position of this switch clears
only the user-entered passwords stored in NVRAM, and restores the default passwords. Once
the SmartSwitch reset, the passwords can either be reentered or the default passwords (Public
and ENTER) may be used.
B.2 SIMM UPGRADE
Memory upgrade is available for the SmartSwitch modules to expand the DRAM to 32 MB. This
section explains how to locate and add/replace a Single In-line Memory Module (SIMM). For
information on the available SIMM upgrades, contact Cabletron Systems. For details on getting
help, refer to
Section 1.2 .

NOTE
Do not change the position of switch 8 unless it is necessary to reset the module
super-user configured passwords to their factory default settings.
