The NPE-300 contains two banks of SDRAM. Both SDRAM banks are used for all packet memory
requirements; however, bank 0 is used exclusively for packet memory and is set at a fixed configuration
in the factory.
Bank 1 contains two user-configurable SDRAM slots, DIMM slot 2 and DIMM slot 3 (see
Both slots in bank 1 can be populated by DIMMs of different sizes; however, the size of the DIMM in
slot 2 must be greater than or equal to the size of the DIMM in slot 3, and the size of the DIMM in slot 3
can be zero.

1. There are two user-upgradable SDRAM slots in bank 1. (Bank 0 is used exclusively for packet memory and is set at a fixed
configuration in the factory.)
2. These products are also available as SDRAM upgrades. To order an upgrade, add an equal sign (=) after the product number,
for example, MEM-SD-NPE-128MB=.
3. This 32 MB is fixed memory in SDRAM bank 0, socket U16. Socket U15 is never populated.
