The Route Switch Processor (RSP) comes uninstalled with your Cisco 7513 or 7576 router, but is a required system component. Install the RSP2, RSP4, or RSP8 in either slot 6 or slot 7, and install interface processors (optional) in any of the eleven interface
processor slots, which are numbered 0 through 5, and 8 through 12, from left to right when viewing the chassis from the rear.
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.
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 lever flat against the interface processor, filler, VIP, or RSP.
Step 5 Use a screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screws.
Step 6 Repeat Step 1 through Step 5 to install any additional interface processors, fillers, VIPs, or RSPs.
Step 7 To check an RSP installation, refer to the “Check the RSP Installation” section on page 28, and refer to the “Check the Interface Processor or VIP Installation” section on page 29 to check the interface processor or VIP installation.
