The Route Switch Processor (RSP) comes uninstalled with your Cisco 7507 router, but is a required system component. Install the RSPs in the slot 2 or slot 3, and install any interface processors, fillers, or Versatile Interface Processors (VIPs) in slots 0, 1, 4, 5, and 6 (optional).
Step 1 Hold the interface processor, filler, VIP, or RSP with one hand, and place your other hand under the carrier to support the card and guide it into the slot. Avoid touching the card.
Step 2 Place the interface processor, filler, VIP, or RSP in the slot and align the guide on the carrier with the groove in the slot.
Step 3 Carefully slide the interface processor, filler, VIP, or RSP into the slot until the faceplate makes contact with the ejector levers.
Step 4 Use the thumb and forefinger of each hand to push the ejector lever flat against the interface processor, filler, VIP, or RSP.
Step 5 Use a screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screws.
Step 6 Repeat Step 1 through Step 5 to install any additional interface processors, fillers, VIPs, or RSPs.
Step 7 To check an RSP installation, refer to the “Check the RSP Installation” section on page 30, and refer to the “Check the Interface Processor or VIP Installation” section on page 31 to check the interface processor or VIP installation.
