Installing Cisco Interface Cards on the Cisco ICS 7750
This section describes how to install Cisco interface cards on the Cisco Integrated Communication
System (ICS) 7750, and contains the following subsections:
•
•
Cisco interface cards are installed in the Cisco ICS 7750 through either the multiservice route processor
(MRP) or analog station interface 81 (ASI 81) cards. For more information about these cards, see the
"Processor Cards Feature Summary" chapter in the
The MRP has two interface card slots (slot 0, slot 1) and the ASI 81 has one interface card slot (slot 1).
Preparing to Install Interface Cards on the Cisco ICS 7750
Before installing an interface card into the MRP or ASI 81, perform the following tasks:
•
•
To configure digital voice ports correctly, any additional PVDMs must be installed before the interface

card is installed on the MRP or ASI 81 card, or the Cisco ICS 7750 will not be recognized as a voice port.

Verify that the MRP or ASI 81 card has the minimum Cisco IOS release required to support your
interface card.
Determine whether additional voice traffic due to installed voice or voice/WAN interface cards will
require additional digital signal processors (DSPs). If additional DSPs are required, install up to two
additional packet voice data modules (PVDMs) on each MRP or ASI 81 card to provide more
processing power.
