8.4.4
Expansion or Reduction of Physical Memory
The physical memory units for BCUs and RPs can be expanded on the standby side
of a duplex router while operating. This subsection provides examples of typical
concurrent physical memory upgrade.
(1) Concurrent Upgrade of BCU Memory while Power is On
To expand the BCU memory, the BCU (RM-CPU board) must be removed from the
router. Therefore, memory expansion on the active side cannot be performed during
operation. To expand the memory of both BCUs on a duplex router, expand the
memory on the standby side, and then swap the system and expand the memory on
the new standby side.
Figure 8-32 shows the steps for expanding the standby BCU memory while the power
is on. Details of each step follow the figure.
