What Do I Do Now?

After you have installed the Cisco 7500 series router hardware, checked all external connections, turned on the system power, allowed the system to boot up, and minimally configured the system, you might need to perform more complete and complex configurations, which are beyond the scope of this text.

For specific information on more complex system and interface configuration and, if necessary, troubleshooting, refer to the publications listed in the “If You Need More Configuration Information” section on page 4-32.

Note For basic configuration information on each of the interface processors available for the Cisco 7500 series routers, refer to the companion publication Interface Processor Installation and Configuration Guide, or to the individual configuration notes that might have shipped with selected interface processors.

Note The Flash memory card can be inserted and removed with the power on. In the following procedures, the term RSP refers to the RSP2, RSP4, and RSP8. Specific differences are clearly noted.

Installing and Removing a Flash Memory Card in an RSP

The RSP has two PC Card slots—slot 0 and slot 1—into which you can install a Flash memory card. In the RSP2, RSP4, and RSP8, the orientation is vertical. PC Card slot 0 is on the left and slot 1 is on the right. (See Figure 4-1and Figure 4-2).
