Switch Processor (SP)

The SP, shown in Figure 1-12, controls and communicates with the interface processors on the
high-speed CxBus. Its function is to decide the destination of a packet and switch it based on that
decision. The SP uses a 16-million-instructions-per-second (mips) processor to provide high-speed,
autonomous switching and routing. The SP microcode (firmware), which contains board-specific
software instructions, resides in an ROM component in socket U173.
The SP is always installed in the SP slot, which is below the RP. (See Figure 1-3.) The single enabled
LED is on when the SP is enabled for operation.
