Cisco Systems RSP8 manual List of Parts and Tools, Microcode Requirements

Installation Prerequisites

Caution Before using a Flash memory card previously formatted and used in an RSP, RSP7000, RSP1, RSP2, or RSP4, you must reformat the Flash memory card. Flash memory cards formatted on any of these processors do not work properly in an RSP8. You must first reformat it on your RSP8 system. Refer to Flash Memory Card Installation Instructions for instructions on reformatting Flash memory.

You must also format any flash disk for the RSP8 on an RSP8. Also see the Using the Flash Disk document.

Microcode Requirements

Microcode is a set of processor-specific software instructions that enables and manages the features and functions of a specific processor type. At system startup or reload, the system loads the microcode for each processor type present in the system. The latest available microcode image for each processor type is bundled and distributed with the system software image.

Note Overriding the bundle can result in incompatibility among the various interface processors in the system. We recommend that you use only the microcode image that is bundled.

List of Parts and Tools

You need some or all of the following parts and tools to install, remove, and replace an RSP8 or to upgrade DRAM. If you need additional equipment, contact a customer service representative for ordering information.

An RSP8-related product listed in the “Product Description” section on page 3 .

DRAM DIMMS that are described in the “Replacing and Upgrading DRAM DIMMs” section on page 74. (Also see the “Compatibility Requirements” section on page 13 .)

Caution To prevent memory problems, DRAM DIMMS must be 3.3-volt (V) devices. Do not attempt to install higher-voltage devices in the RSP8 DIMM sockets.

Number 1 Phillips screwdriver and a number 2 Phillips or 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver for the captive installation screws that secure the RSP8 in its slot.

ESD-prevention equipment or the disposable ESD-preventive wrist strap included with all spares and upgrade kits.

Antistatic mat, foam pad, or bag for the removed RSP8 (place the removed RSP8 in an antistatic bag if you plan to return it to the factory, or on an antistatic mat or foam if you are replacing components and will reinstall the RSP8).
