Depending on your configuration, you might need to insert additional or new processor modules in your Cisco 7507 or Cisco 7507-MX. To insert or remove interface processors, you do not need to turn off power to the system. However, if the system is operating, you must turn off the system power before you insert or remove an RSP2, RSP4, or RSP8.

You need a number 1 Phillips or 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver to remove any fillers (blank processor module 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.
