Chapter 1 Cisco 7500 Series Product Overview

Cisco 7576 Overview

An RSP4/4+ or RSP8 in slot 6 controls router A and both CyBus 0 and CyBus 1. An RSP4/4+ or RSP8 in slot 7 controls router B and both CyBus 2 and CyBus 3. The dual CyBus backplane in the Cisco 7576 has an aggregate bandwidth of 2.134 Gbps per router. Interface processors connected to the set of CyBuses on router A are unaffected by the traffic generated by the interface processors connected to the set of CyBuses on router B. The dual CyBuses assigned to router A are independent of the dual CyBuses assigned to router B.

Figure 1-18shows the details of the dual CyBus backplane.

Note The Cisco 7576 backplane includes connectors for time-division multiplexing (TDM)-compatible hardware. These connectors allow you to connect the Cisco 7576 to future TDM hardware as it becomes available.

The backplane slots are keyed so that the processor modules can be installed only in the slots designated for them. Keys on the backplane fit into two key guides on each module. Although the RSP uses unique keys, all 11 interface processor slots use the same key, so you can install an interface processor in any interface processor slot, but not in the RSP slot.

For maintenance information about the card cage assembly, see the “Removing and Replacing the Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX, and Cisco 7576 Card Cage Assembly” section on page 7-5.
