Installation Flowchart (Cisco 7507 and Cisco 7507-MX)
Depending on your configuration, you might need to insert additional or new processor modules in your
Cisco 7507 or Cisco 7507-MX. To insert or remove interface processors, you do not need to turn off
power to the system. However, if the system is operating, you must turn off the system power before you
insert or remove an RSP2, RSP4, or RSP8.
You need a number 1 Phillips or 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver to remove any fillers (blank processor
module carriers) and to tighten the captive installation screws that secure the processor module in its slot.
Whenever you handle modules, you should use an ESD-preventive wrist strap or other grounding device
to prevent ESD damage.
