The RSP1 combines all of the switched routing and high-speed switching functions required by the Cisco 7505 router. Refer to the section “What Is the RSP1?” on page 3.

Page 6: Serial Ports
Prerequisites Serial Ports Two asynchronous serial ports on the RSP1, the console and auxiliary ports, allow you to connect external devices to monitor and manage the system. The console port is an Electronics Industries Association/Telecommunications Industry Association (EIA/TIA)-232 receptacle (female) that provides a data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) interface for connecting a console terminal.

Page 8: Compatibility Requirements

Page 10 This procedure is not necessary if you are temporarily removing an RSP1 that you will reinstall; the lithium batteries will retain the conﬁguration in memory until you replace the RSP1 in the system.
Page 11 Before you upload (copy) the running conﬁguration to the TFTP ﬁle server, ensure the following: • You have a connection to the router either with a console terminal connected to the RSP1 console port, or remotely through a Telnet session.
Page 12 Downloading (Retrieving) the Conﬁguration File After you install the new RSP1, you can retrieve the saved conﬁguration and copy it to NVRAM. To retrieve the conﬁguration, enter conﬁguration mode and specify that you will conﬁgure the router from the network.

Page 14: Installation
“Software Prerequisites” and “Microcode Prerequisites” on page 8. The OIR feature allows you to remove and install interface processors without turning off system power. However, you must shut down the system before removing or installing the RSP1, which is a required system component.
Page 15 Installation Each RSP1 and interface processor contains a bus connector with which it connects to the system backplane. The bus connector is a set of tiered pins, in three lengths. The pins send speciﬁc signals to the system as they make contact with the backplane.
Page 16 Removing the RSP1 When you remove or install the RSP1, be sure to use the ejector levers, which help to ensure that the RSP1 is fully inserted in the backplane or fully dislodged from it. Any RSP1 or interface processor that is only partially connected to the backplane can halt the system.
Page 17 Installation Place the back of the RSP1 in the top slot and align the notches along the edge of the carrier Step 3 with the grooves in the slot. (See Figure 3a.) Figure 3 Ejector Levers and Captive Installation Screw...
Page 18: Restarting The System
To prevent damage to the backplane, you must install the RSP1 in the top slot of the Caution Cisco 7505. (See Figure 2 on page 4.) The slots are keyed for correct installation. Forcing the RSP1 into a different slot can damage the backplane and the RSP1.
Page 19: Troubleshooting The Installation
System Power LEDs On the Cisco 7505, the DC OK LED is located on the lower right of the interface processor end of the chassis and is labeled DC OK. (See Figure 1 on page 2.) If the DC OK LED does not go on or stay on, there is most likely a problem with the input power or one of the internal DC lines.
Page 20: System Startup Sequence
Figure 4 Route Switch Processor LEDs Caution The reset switch (see Figure 4) resets the RSP1 and the entire system. To prevent system errors and problems, use it only at the direction of your service representative. Interface Processor LEDs Each interface processor contains an enabled LED. The enabled LED goes on to indicate that the interface processor is operational and that it is powered up.
Page 21 When you have veriﬁed that the power supply is functioning properly, observe the LEDs on the RSP1. The CPU halt LED on the RSP1 should always remain off. If it goes on during the startup sequence, the system has encountered a processor hardware error.
Page 22 — If the enabled LEDs on the interface processors go on, the system has booted successfully and is now functional. — If the RSP1 LEDs previously indicated a successful system boot, but none of the enabled LEDs on the interface processors go on, suspect that one of them has shifted out of its backplane connector and halted the system.
Page 23: Reference Information
Data Carrier Detect (always on) Auxiliary Port Signals The auxiliary port on the RSP1 is an EIA/TIA-232 DTE, DB-25 plug to which you can attach a CSU/DSU or other equipment in order to access the router from the network. Table 3 lists the EIA/TIA-232 signals used on this port.
Page 24 Replacing and Upgrading DRAM SIMMs The system DRAM resides on up to four SIMMs on the RSP1. The DRAM SIMM sockets are U4 and U12 for bank 0, and U18 and U25 for bank 1. The default DRAM conﬁguration is 16 MB (two 8-MB SIMMs in bank 0).
Page 25 Place the RSP1 on an antistatic mat or pad, and ensure that you are wearing an antistatic device, such as a wrist strap. Position the RSP1 so that the handle is away from you and the edge connector is toward you—opposite of the position shown in Figure 2 on page 4.
Page 26 Step 7 Repeat Steps 4 through 6 for the remaining SIMMs, as required for your upgrade. This completes the SIMM removal procedure. Proceed to the next section to install the new SIMMs. 26 Route Switch Processor (RSP1) Installation and Conﬁguration...
Page 27 Figure 7 Handling a SIMM Follow these steps to install the new SIMMs: Ensure that the RSP1 is in the same orientation as the previous procedure (with the handle Step 1 away from you and the edge connector toward you).
Page 28 Routers with 128 MB of DRAM will take longer to boot than those with 16 MB of DRAM. This completes the SIMM replacement procedure. To replace the RSP1 in the chassis, proceed to the section “Replacing the RSP1” on page 16, and then restart the system for an installation check.

Page 31 The server creates a default boot ﬁlename as part of the automatic conﬁguration processes. To form the boot ﬁlename, the server starts with the name cisco and adds the octal equivalent of the boot ﬁeld number, a hyphen, and the processor-type name. Table 7 lists the default boot ﬁlenames or actions for the processor.

Page 36: Using Flash Memory Cards
PCMCIA-based Flash memory for your system. You can use this Flash memory to store and run Cisco IOS images, or as a ﬁle server for other routers to access as clients. Occasionally, it might be necessary to remove and replace Flash memory cards; however, removing Flash memory cards is not required and is not recommended after the cards are installed in the slots.
Page 37 Replacing a Flash Memory Card It might become necessary for you to replace or install a Flash memory card in your RSP1. The RSP1 has two PCMCIA slots: slot 0 (bottom) and slot 1 (top). (See Figure 9.) The following procedure is generic and can be used for a Flash memory card in either slot position.

Page 39 Before you can use a Flash memory card that was previously used on a Route Processor (RP) in a Cisco 7000 series router, you must reformat the Flash memory card. Flash memory cards formatted on RP-based (Cisco 7000 series) routers will not work properly in RSP-based (Cisco 7500 series) routers.
