Identifying Slots and Subslots for SIPs and SPAs

Checking Hardware and Software Compatibility

To check the minimum software requirements of Cisco IOS software with the hardware installed on your
router, Cisco maintains the Software Advisor tool on Cisco.com. This tool does not verify whether SIPs
or SPAs within a system are compatible, but it does provide the minimum Cisco IOS requirements for
individual hardware modules or components.
Access to this tool is limited to users with Cisco.com login accounts.
Note
To access Software Advisor, click Login at Cisco.com, type "Software Advisor" in the SEARCH box,
and click GO. Click the link for the Software Advisor tool.
Choose a product family or enter a specific product number to search for the minimum supported
software release needed for your hardware.
Identifying Slots and Subslots for SIPs and SPAs
This section describes how to specify the physical locations of a SIP and SPA on the Cisco 7600 series
routers within the command-line interface (CLI) to configure or monitor those devices.
For simplicity, any reference to "SIP" in this section also applies to the SSC.
Note

of chassis slots.
The Cisco 7600 series router SIPs are not supported with a Supervisor Engine 1, Supervisor Engine 1A,
