Chapter 4 Performing a Basic Configuration of the System
What Do I Do Now?
What Do I Do Now?
After you have installed the Cisco 7500 series router hardware, checked all external connections, turned
on the system power, allowed the system to boot up, and minimally configured the system, you might
need to perform more complete and complex configurations, which are beyond the scope of this text.
For specific information on more complex system and interface configuration and, if necessary,
troubleshooting, refer to the publications listed in the
“If You Need More Configuration Information”
section on page 4-32
.
Note
For basic configuration information on each of the interface processors available for the Cisco 7500
series routers, refer to the companion publication
Interface Processor Installation and Configuration
Guide
, or to the individual configuration notes that might have shipped with selected interface
processors.

term RSP refers to the RSP2, RSP4, and RSP8. Specific differences are clearly noted.

Installing and Removing a Flash Memory Card in an RSP
The RSP has two PC Card slots—slot 0 and slot 1—into which you can install a Flash memory card. In
the RSP2, RSP4, and RSP8, the orientation is vertical. PC Card slot 0 is on the left and slot 1 is on the
right. (See

and
