Route Switch Processor (RSP8) Installation and Configuration Guide

OL-4920-02

Installation Prerequisites

Caution Beforeusing a Flash memory card previously formatted and used in an RSP, RSP7000, RSP1, RSP2, or

RSP4, you must reformat the Flash memory card. Flash memory cards formatted on any of these

processors do not work properly in an RSP8. You mustfirst reformat it on your RSP8 system. Refer to

Flash Memory Card Installation Instructions for instructions on reformatting Flash memory.

You must also format any flash disk for the RSP8 on an RSP8. Also see theUsing the Flash Disk

document.

Microcode Requirements

Microcodeis a set of processor-specific software instructions that enables and manages the features and

functions of a specific processor type. At system startup or reload, the system loads the microcode for

eachprocessor type present in the system. The latest available microcode image for each processor type

is bundled and distributed with the system software image.

Note Overridingthe bundle can result in incompatibility among the various interface processors in the system.

We recommend that you useonly the microcode image that is bundled.

List of Parts and Tools

You need some or all of the following parts and tools to install, remove, and replace an RSP8 or to

upgrade DRAM. If you need additional equipment, contact a customer service representative for

ordering information.

•An RSP8-related product listed in the “Product Description” section on page 3.

•DRAM DIMMS that are described in the “Replacing and Upgrading DRAM DIMMs” section on

page 74. (Also see the “Compatibility Requirements” section on page 13.)

Caution To prevent memory problems, DRAM DIMMS must be 3.3-volt (V) devices. Do not attempt to install

higher-voltage devices in the RSP8 DIMM sockets.

•Number 1 Phillips screwdriver and a number 2 Phillips or 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver for the

captive installation screws that secure the RSP8 in its slot.

•ESD-prevention equipment or the disposable ESD-preventive wrist strap included with all spares

and upgrade kits.

•Antistaticmat, foam pad, or bag for the removed RSP8 (place the removed RSP8 in an antistatic bag

ifyou plan to return it to the factory, or on an antistatic mat or foam if you are replacing components

and will reinstall the RSP8).
