Cisco 7505 Overview
The Cisco 7505 supports multiprotocol, multimedia routing and bridging with a wide variety of protocols and any combination of available electrical interfaces and media. Network interfaces reside on interface processors that provide a direct connection between the CyBus in your Cisco 7505 and external networks.
The Cisco 7505 has five slots: four interface processor slots (0 through 3) and one slot for the Route Switch Processor (RSP2, RSP4/4+, or RSP8). The Cisco 7505 supports 4 VIPs, one for each interface processor slot. The Cisco 7505 uses a single power supply, with two models available: DC input or AC input.
The front, or noninterface processor end, of the Cisco 7505 has a removable panel that is secured with two captive fasteners. See Figure 1-1. Removing the panel provides access to the internal components: the power supply and fan tray.
