Installing the RSP8
Step 7 Place the removed RSP8 on an antistatic mat or foam. If you plan to return the RSP8 to the factory, immediately place it in an antistatic bag to prevent ESD damage.
Step 8 Attach the equipment end of the
This completes the removal procedure. If you removed the RSP8 to replace DIMMs, proceed to the “Replacing and Upgrading DRAM DIMMs” section on page 74 . If you are replacing the RSP8, proceed to the next section to install the new RSP8.
Replacing the RSP8
Caution Removing the only installed RSP8 from a system while the system is operating will cause the system to crash. Consider this before removing an RSP8 while the system is operating. To ensure that the standby RSP8 operates properly with the full system configuration should the active RSP8 ever fail, the standby RSP8 must have the same (or higher) DRAM and Flash memory capacity as the active RSP8. See the “Memory Components” section on page 6 for RSP8 memory component requirements.
Note The carriers on processor modules have electromagnetic interference (EMI) fences for EMI shielding; therefore, they fit very tightly in the chassis slots. To ensure that you can properly remove or install an RSP8 in RSP slot 7 from the Cisco 7513 router, we recommend that you proceed as follows: first remove an interface processor installed in slot 8, remove or install the RSP8 in RSP slot 7 (and fasten its captive installation screws as appropriate), and then reinstall the interface processor in slot 8.
The RSP8 is keyed for installation only in an RSP slot. By default, the active RSP is the one that occupies the first RSP slot in the router: slot 2 in the Cisco 7507 and Cisco
To install an RSP8, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Grasp the RSP8 handle with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support and guide it into the slot. (See Figure 4.) Avoid touching the board or any connectors.
Step 2 Place the back of the RSP8 in the appropriate RSP slot and align the notches along the edge of the carrier with the grooves in the slot. (See Figure 3a.)
