Note Do not shut down the system power when removing an interface processor, VIP, or an RSP in a system configured for HA. If you are removing an RSP and have only one RSP, shut down the system, but first copy the configuration file to a TFTP server. See the “Copy the Configuration File for an RSP” section on page 31. If you have a system using high system availability (HSA), shut down the system to remove the master RSP, but leave power on if you remove only the slave RSP.

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and any unpainted chassis surface.

Step 2 If you have a VIP4 and are using HSA with an RSP2 as the slave processor, remove the RSP2 and wait 20-30 seconds.

Step 3 Disconnect all cables from the interface processor, VIP, or RSP port adapters; unless you are only moving a carrier, then skip this step.

Step 4 Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws, as shown in A.

Step 5 Place your thumbs on both ejector levers and simultaneously pull them both outward, as shown in B.

Step 6 Grasp the interface processor, filler, VIP, or RSP handle with one hand and pull the carrier straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand under the carrier to guide it.

Step 7 Store the interface processor, VIP, or RSP in an antistatic bag.

7576 specifications

Cisco Systems 7576, part of the Catalyst line of switches, is designed for enterprise networks requiring robust performance and advanced features. This switch is known for its versatility, scalability, and reliability, making it a smart choice for organizations looking to support a wide range of applications.

One of the standout features of the Cisco 7576 is its capability to handle high throughput. With a switching capacity that exceeds traditional network switches, it accommodates heavy traffic loads, ideal for environments with dense users and devices. This throughput is complemented by support for advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols, including VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), offering a diverse set of routing options.

The Cisco 7576 also prioritizes security, integrating several advanced security features. With support for Cisco TrustSec, it provides segmentation and access control based on user identity, ensuring that sensitive data remains protected. Additionally, the switch supports features like 802.1X port-based authentication and dynamic VLAN assignment, enhancing overall network security.

Another notable characteristic of the Cisco 7576 is its energy-efficiency. Equipped with Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), it helps reduce power consumption during low traffic periods, aligning with modern enterprises' sustainability goals. This focus on green technology is increasingly essential as organizations seek to minimize their environmental footprint.

Cisco's investment in automation and management is also evident in the 7576. The switch is compatible with Cisco DNA Center, which allows for intelligent operations and insights into the network. This integration enables real-time monitoring, automation of routine tasks, and proactive management of network issues, leading to lower operational costs and improved network performance.

Furthermore, the Cisco 7576 supports advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features, essential for environments that rely on voice and video applications. Administrators can prioritize bandwidth effectively, ensuring that critical applications receive the necessary resources for optimal performance.

In conclusion, the Cisco Systems 7576 switch merges superior performance and security features with energy efficiency and intelligent management options. It stands as a robust solution for enterprises seeking to build resilient, scalable, and secure networks that can evolve with their business needs.
