Product Overview
The Cisco 7010 is the five-slot model in the Cisco 7000 series. The Cisco 7010 provides three interface processor slots. Figure 1 shows the interface processor end of the Cisco 7010. The Route Processor (RP) and Switch Processor (SP) (or Silicon Switch Processor [SSP]), which are required system components in all Cisco 7000 Series routers, occupy the two top slots. The remaining three slots support any combination of interface types: Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, and so forth.

The Cisco 7505 is a five-slot model that provides four interface processor slots. Figure 2 shows the interface processor end of the Cisco 7505. The Route Switch Processor (RSP1), which is a required system component in the Cisco 7505 router, occupies the top slot. The remaining four slots support any combination of interface types: Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, and so forth.

The interface processor end of the chassis also contains the AC power receptacle (a DC-input power supply is also available, but not shown), the system power on/off switch, and the DC OK power status LED, all of which are part of the power supply but accessible through cutouts in the chassis frame. (See Figure 1 or Figure 2.) To the left of the power switch and receptacle cutout is the chassis ground screw that provides a chassis ground connection for ESD equipment or a grounding wire.
