We recommend that you refer to the "Port and Slot Configuration Worksheet" section on
Note
page 28 before you remove interface processors from the old chassis. This will ensure that you
install them in the correct slots in the new chassis based on the configuration stored in NVRAM on
the RSP.
Although interface processors support OIR, you must wait at least 15 seconds after inserting an
interface processor before inserting the next one. To help avoid errors with the installation, leave the
power off until you have moved all components into the new chassis and have verified that all of
them are installed properly.
Move the interface processors first, one at a time, then move the RSPs last. Before you remove an
interface processor from the existing chassis, remove the interface processor filler from the
corresponding slot in the new chassis. Then immediately install the interface processor in the new
chassis and secure it in the slot before removing the next interface processor filler or module. If you
leave the interface cables attached to the interface processors, route the cables through the
cable-management brackets immediately after you secure the interface processor in the slot to help
keep the other slots clear during the installation.
If there is sufficient slack in the interface cables, and if you can easily move the processor modules
between the chassis without straining the cables, leave the interface cables connected. If you must
disconnect the cables, label each cable with its slot and port number before you disconnect it. Do not
reconnect the interface cables until you have installed all of the components in the new chassis (it is
easier to install interface processors when the slots are not impeded by cables that drop from other
slots). Use the optional cable-management brackets to keep the interface cables untangled and away
from other interface processor slots and ports.
The Cisco 7513 and Cisco 7576 allow you to remove and replace interface processors and
Note
RSPs while the system is powered on; however, you must shut down the system power before
accessing the chassis interior for any other reason. If you intend to remove and replace an interface
processor or RSP while the system is powered on, do so only when no operations are taking place
that involve the RSPs NVRAM or flash memory. This includes operations involving system
configuration changes, and downloading microcode images.
