ATM Cable Interface Processor (ACIP) Installation and Configuration 9
ACIP Installation Prerequisites
ACIP Installation Prerequisites
Before you begin the ACIP installation, review the guidelines in this section to ensure a successful
installation, to avoid injuring yourself, or to avoid damaging the equipment. This section also
provides a list of parts and tools you will need to perform the installation.
ACIP Software Prerequisites
To ensure correct operation of the ACIP, Cisco IOS Release 11.2(7)P or later is required.
Hardware and Host Router Prerequisites
The following list describes specific hardware and host router prerequisites:
• Note that the ACIP is not supported in Cisco 7500 series routers with an RSP4 installed. Only
RSP1s and RSP2s can be used with the ACIP.
• Note that the ACIP is not supported in the Cisco 7000 series routers: Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7010.
• You must use the ACIP in the following Cisco 7500 series routers:
— Cisco 7505 (see Figure 6)
— Cisco 7507 (see Figure 7)
— Cisco 7513 (see Figure 8)
The Cisco 7500 series routers provide high reliability, availability, serviceability, and performance,
and supports multiprotocol, multimedia routing, and bridging with a wide variety of protocols and
any combination of available electrical interfaces and media. Network interfaces reside on modular
interface processors (such as the ACIP), which provide a direct connection between the high-speed,
1.067-gigabits-per-second (Gbps) Cisco Extended Bus (CyBus) and external networks. The
Cisco 7507 and Cisco 7513 each have two CyBuses for an aggregate bandwidth of 2.134 Gbps.
Figure 6 shows the rear of the 5-slot Cisco 7505 router. In the Cisco 7505, one slot (4) is reserved
for the Route Switch Processor (RSP1), which contains the main system processor and performs
packet switching functions. Slots 0 through 3 are for interface processors, including the ACIP.
(There are no restrictions on slot locations or sequence; you can install an ACIP in any available
interface processor slot.)
