The Route Switch Processor (RSP) comes uninstalled with your Cisco 7505 router, but is a required system component. Install the RSP in the RSP slot, and install any interface processors, fillers, or Versatile Interface Processors (VIPs) in slots 0, 1, 2, and 3.
Step 1 Hold the interface processor, filler, VIP, or RSP with one hand, and place your other hand under the carrier to support the card and guide it into the slot. Avoid touching the card.
Step 2 Place the interface processor, filler, VIP, or RSP in the slot and align the guide on the carrier with the groove in the slot, as shown in A.
Step 3 Carefully slide the interface processor, filler, VIP, or RSP into the slot until the faceplate makes contact with the ejector levers.
Step 4 Use the thumb and forefinger of each hand to push the ejector levers flat against the interface processor, filler, VIP, or RSP, as shown in B.
Step 5 Use a screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screws, as shown in C.
Step 6 Repeat Step 1 through Step 5 to install the
RSP or any additional interface processors, fillers, or VIPs.
Note Refer to the “Check the RSP Installation” section on page 19 to check the RSP installation. Refer to the “Check the Interface Processor or VIP Installation” section on page 20 to check the interface processor or VIP installation.
