You need a number 1 Phillips or 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver to remove any fillers (blank processor carriers) and to tighten the captive installation screws that secure the processor module in its slot. Whenever you handle modules, you should use an ESD-preventive wrist strap or other grounding device to prevent ESD damage.

You can install interface processors (as shown in the following illustration) in any of the four interface processor slots, numbered 0 through 3 from bottom to top when viewing the chassis from the rear. (See the illustration of the Cisco 7505 in Figure 1-2.) The top slot (slot 4) must contain the RSP, which is a required system component. The processor carriers are keyed so you cannot incorrectly install them in the chassis slots.

Caution To prevent the overheating of internal components, always install fillers in empty slots to maintain the proper flow of cooling air across the cards. To prevent ESD damage, handle processor modules by the handles and carrier edges only.

Figure 3-3illustrates the procedures for removing and installing processor modules in the Cisco 7505.
