Installing CxBus Interface Processors

You can install interface processors in any of the five interface processor slots, numbered 0 through
4 from left to right when viewing the chassis from the rear. (See Figure 1-2.) Interface processor
fillers, which are blank interface processor carriers, are installed in slots without interface processors
to maintain consistent air flow through the interface processor compartment.
Following are installation steps for the CxBus interface processors, which support OIR and can be
removed and installed while the system is operating.

Before removing the RP, SP or SSP, RSP7000, or RSP7000CI, make sure the system is
If you will not immediately reinstall the interface processor you are removing, disconnect
any network interface cables attached to the interface processor ports.
Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws at the top and bottom of the
interface processor.
Place your thumbs on the upper and lower ejector levers and simultaneously push the top
lever up and the bottom lever down to release the interface processor from the backplane
connector. Make sure the levers snap into their spring retainers.
Grasp the interface processor handle with one hand and place your other hand under the
carrier to support and guide the interface processor out of the slot. Avoid touching the
board.
Carefully pull the interface processor straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand under
the carrier to guide it. (See Figure 5-2.) Keep the interface processor at a 90-degree
orientation to the backplane.
Place the removed interface processor on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or
immediately install it in another slot.
If the slot is to remain empty, install an interface processor filler (MAS7K-BLANK) to keep
dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper air flow through the interface processor
compartment.
Always install interface processor fillers in empty interface processor slots to maintain the
