An RSP2, RSP4/4+, or RSP8 in either slot 6 or slot 7 controls both CyBus 0 and CyBus 1. The dual
CyBus backplane in the Cisco 7513 has an aggregate bandwidth of 2.134 Gbps. Interface processors
connected to one CyBus are unaffected by the traffic generated by the interface processors connected to
the other CyBus. The two CyBuses are independent of one another.
The backplane slots are keyed so that the processor modules can be installed only in the slots designated
for them. Keys on the backplane fit into two key guides on each module. Although the RSP uses unique
keys, all eleven interface processor slots use the same key, so you can install an interface processor in
any interface processor slot, but not in the RSP slot.
