Cisco 7609 Internet Router

The Cisco 7609 Internet Router chassis has nine vertical slots that are numbered from right to left. (See Figure 1-1.)

Slot 1 is reserved for the supervisor engine, which provides switching, local and remote management, and multiple gigabit uplink interfaces.

Slot 2 can contain an additional redundant supervisor engine, which can act as a backup if the first supervisor engine fails. If a redundant supervisor engine is not required, slot 2 is available for an OSM or other supported Catalyst 6000 family modules.

For a detailed description of supervisor engine operation in a redundant configuration, refer to the Cisco 7600 Series Internet Router Software Configuration Guide.
