cannot be connected to the system board incorrectly. (See Figure 11.)
Step 6
Connect the 4-pin environmental status connector only if your router, with the connector
connected, has been upgraded to the correct level of Cisco IOS software. Using any other
level of Cisco IOS software can cause the router to crash. Cisco IOS Release 11.1(12)AA
or later is compatible but will not show status from the RPS. Cisco IOS Release 11.2(7)P
or later will provide RPS status information to the network.
