How to install Cisco Optane 128GB DDR4 SDRAM Persistent Memory Module
Follow these steps to install the Cisco Optane 128GB DDR4 SDRAM Persistent Memory Module in compatible Cisco servers. Always refer to your server’s official maintenance manual for model-specific guidance.
- Power down the server and disconnect the power cords. Ground yourself to prevent static discharge before handling components.
- Open the server chassis according to the manufacturer’s instructions and locate the memory/dimm slots specified for persistent memory modules.
- Verify the slot orientation and alignment. The module notch should align with the keys in the slot, ensuring proper seating and contact.
- Insert the module firmly into the memory slot with even pressure until it seats completely. Avoid wiggling or forcing the module, which can damage contacts or the slot.
- Secure the module with any locking mechanism or retaining clips provided by the chassis. Recheck neighboring slots to ensure no loose components.
- Close the chassis, reconnect power, and boot the server. Enter the BIOS/UEFI to confirm the module is detected and recognized as 128GB of persistent memory.
- Update firmware and BIOS if prompted by the system for compatibility with persistent memory features. Follow Cisco’s recommended firmware stack to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
- Run standard sanity checks and memory stress tests to verify stability under expected workloads. Monitor for any errors through the server management interface.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the primary benefit of a 128GB DDR4 SDRAM Persistent Memory Module? It provides a high-capacity, fast-access memory tier with persistence, enabling faster data access for memory-intensive applications and safer recovery after outages, which translates to improved performance and resilience in demanding workloads.
- Is this module compatible with all Cisco servers? Compatibility is designed for Cisco high-performance rack and blade servers. Always verify compatibility with your specific model and BIOS/firmware requirements before purchasing.
- Can persistent memory replace traditional DRAM or storage in a server? Persistent memory complements DRAM and storage by providing a non-volatile, higher-capacity memory tier. It does not directly replace all DRAM or storage roles but augments them to accelerate workloads and improve data resilience.
- Do I need special software or configuration to use persistent memory features? Some features may require software support and firmware enhancements. Check Cisco documentation and software ecosystems for enabling persistent memory modes, data persistence behavior, and memory tiering configurations.
- How do I upgrade BIOS or firmware to support this module? Use Cisco’s recommended firmware and BIOS versions for your server model and the Optane persistent memory module. Update through the server management interface or vendor-provided tools, following the official installation and rollback procedures if needed.
