7000 Series Route Switch Processor (RSP7000) Installation and Configuration in the Cisco 7000 Series Routers 7
Installation Prerequisites
Jumpers
There are no user-configurable jumpers on the RSP7000.
LEDs
The two LEDs on the RSP7000 indicate the system and RSP7000 status. The normal LED is on
when the system is operational. During normal operation, the CPU halt LED should be off. The CPU
halt LED goes on only if the system detects a processor hardware failure.
Serial Ports
Two asynchronous serial ports on the RSP7000, the console and auxiliary ports, allow you to
connect external devices to monitor and manage the system. The console port is an Electronic
Industries Association/Telecommunications Industry Association (EIA/TIA)-232 receptacle
(female) that provides a data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) interface for connecting a
console terminal.
Note EIA/TIA-232 was known as recommended standard RS-232 before its acceptance as a
standard by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) and Telecommunications Industry
Association (TIA).
The auxiliary port is an EIA/TIA-232 plug (male) that provides a data terminal equipment (DTE)
interface; the auxiliary port supports flow control and is often used to connect a modem, a channel
service unit (CSU), or other optional equipment for Telnet management.
Installation Prerequisites
Before beginning any of these procedures, review the following sections to ensure that your
equipment configuration meets the minimum requirements for the upgrade or replacement you will
perform, and that you have all the parts and tools you will need. Also, review safety and
ESD-prevention guidelines to help you to avoid injury or damage to the equipment.
If you are replacing the existing RSP7000, upload your current configuration file to a remote server
before you remove the RSP7000 to avoid having to reenter all your current configuration
information manually. To upload the file, you need access to a remote server. Refer to the section
“Saving and Retrieving the Configuration File” on page 12, for instructions for uploading the file
and retrieving it after the new RSP7000 is installed.
Safety
This section lists safety guidelines you should follow when working with any equipment that
connects to electrical power or telephone wiring.
