Cisco 7500 SERIES ROUTE SWITCH PROCESSOR 16 Specification Guide

When you remove a processor module, place it component-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a
static shielding bag. Immediately place the module in a static shielding bag if you need to return it
to the factory.

Avoid contact between electronic equipment and clothing. Antistatic straps only protect the
equipment from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be
between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).

This section describes compatibility requirements for the RSP16.

Following are chassis slot and DRAM requirements for ensuring RSP16 compatibility.

You have no restrictions on installing an RSP16 in a Cisco 7505, however; the Cisco 7505 does not
support the HSA or the HA features.

You have no restrictions on installing an RSP16 in a Cisco 7507 or Cisco 7507-MX provided that
you install the RSP16 in slot 2, slot 3, or both. With the HSA or HA features enabled, you will install
an RSP16 (or an RSP8 and an RSP16) in both RSP slots.

You have no restrictions on installing an RSP16 in a Cisco 7513 or Cisco 7513-MX provided that
you install the RSP16 in slot 6, slot 7, or both. With the HSA or HA features enabled, you will install
an RSP16 (or an RSP8 and an RSP16) in both RSP slots.

It is assumed that if you install two RSP16s (or an RSP8 and an RSP16) in the Cisco 7507,
Cisco 7507-MX, Cisco 7513, or Cisco 7513-MX, you plan to enable and configure the HSA or HA
features.

Flash Disks and DRAM DIMMs must meet the following requirements:

Flash Disks and DRAM DIMMs must be obtained from Cisco Systems. See the

Maximum DRAM speed is 60 nanoseconds (ns), maximum DIMM height is 1 inch
(2.54 centimeters), and maximum DRAM DIMM voltage is 3.3 volts (V).

You cannot use a Flash Disk that was formatted on an RSP8 that is running a boot or Cisco IOS
software image earlier than Cisco IOS Release 12.1(12)E.

You cannot reboot from a Flash memory card that was previously formatted on an RSP1, RSP2,
RSP4/4+ or RSP8.

If you reboot from a Flash Disk in the RSP16 that was previously formatted on an RSP8, you must
first reformat the Flash Disk, before you can use it as a boot or storage source with the RSP16. Refer
to

(part number DOC-785819=) for instructions on reformatting a Flash Disk.
