Cisco 7500 SERIES ROUTE SWITCH PROCESSOR 16 Specification Guide

Before beginning the installation procedures, review the following sections to ensure awareness of the
appropriate regulatory and safety requirements, and to ensure that your RSP16 hardware functions
properly with compatible components:

If you are replacing an existing RSP16, back up your current configuration file to a remote server before
you remove the RSP16 to avoid having to reenter all your current configuration information manually.
To back up the file, you need access to a remote TFTP server. See the

for instructions for uploading the file to a TFTP server or saving

it to Flash memory, and then retrieving it after the new RSP16 is installed.

Following are safety guidelines that you should follow when working with any equipment that connects
to electrical power or telephone wiring.
