Chapter 1 Cisco 7500 Series Product Overview

Route Switch Processor Overview

You install the RSP4/4+ in slot 2 or slot 3 in the Cisco 7507 (see Figure 1-5), or in slot 6 or slot 7 in the

Cisco 7513 (see Figure 1-11) and Cisco 7576 (see Figure 1-17). The RSP4/4+ is also compatible with

the Cisco 7505, where it is installed in slot 4 (see Figure 1-2).

Figure 1-21 Route Switch Processor (RSP4/4+)

The RSP4/4+ contains the system CPU, the system software (in Flash memory), the system memory

components, and two PC Card slots, and it maintains and executes the management functions that control

the system.

Although no monitoring of 12V or temperature is done by the RSP4/4+, a comparator device ensures

that 12V is maintained within the normal operating ranges, and three temperature sensors on the

RSP4/4+ send temperature information to the chassis interface (CI) card. The CI card reports all voltage

and temperature readings, and these readings are available through standard software commands for

environmental monitoring. The RSP4/4+ uses a software-controlled configuration register, so you do not

have to remove the RSP4/4+, to configure jumpers. There are no user-configurable jumpers on the

RSP4/4+.
