Replacing Processor Modules
You can replace an interface processor in any of the 11 interface processor slots, 0 through 5, and 8 through 12, from left to right. (See Figure 1.) slot 6 and slot 7 are reserved for the RSP. Blank processor module fillers are installed in slots without processor modules to maintain consistent airflow through the card cage. Refer to the Cisco 7500 Series Installation and Configuration Guide for complete information on RSP slot assignments and placement.
To replace processor modules, follow these steps:
Step 1 Turn off power to the chassis. If two power supplies are installed, the power switch on each supply must be in the off (O) position.
Step 2 Note that processor modules are secured with two captive installation screws. Use a number 1 Phillips or a
Step 3 Hold the processor module handle with one hand, and place your other hand under the carrier to support it. (See Figure 7.) Avoid touching the board.
Step 4 Place the back of the processor module in the slot and align the carrier guides along the sides of the processor module with the grooves in the top and bottom of the slot. (See Figure 5a.)
Step 5 While keeping the processor module at a
Step 6 Using your thumbs, simultaneously push both ejector levers inward until they push the processor module completely into the slot. The ejector levers should be in approximately the same orientation as the processor module faceplate. (See Figure 5c.)
