Caution
Replacing Processor Modules
You can replace an interface processor in any of the 11 interface processor slots, 0 through 5, and
8 through 12, from left to right. (See Figure 1.) slot 6 and slot 7 are reserved for the RSP. Blank
processor module fillers are installed in slots without processor modules to maintain consistent
airflow through the card cage. Refer to the Cisco 7500 Series Installation and Configuration Guide
for complete information on RSP slot assignments and placement.
To replace processor modules, follow these steps:

Board Rack with Processor Modules
To prevent damage to the processor modules, do not stack them on top of each other.
Turn off power to the chassis. If two power supplies are installed, the power switch on
each supply must be in the off (O) position.
Note that processor modules are secured with two captive installation screws. Use a
number 1 Phillips or a 1/4-inch flat-blade screwdriver to loosen the two captive
installation screws and remove the processor module filler (or the existing processor
module) from the slot to be filled.
Hold the processor module handle with one hand, and place your other hand under the
carrier to support it. (See Figure 7.) Avoid touching the board.
Place the back of the processor module in the slot and align the carrier guides along the
sides of the processor module with the grooves in the top and bottom of the slot. (See
Figure 5a.)
While keeping the processor module at a 90-degree orientation to the backplane, carefully
slide the processor module into the slot until the processor module faceplate makes
contact with the ejector levers.
Using your thumbs, simultaneously push both ejector levers inward until they push the
processor module completely into the slot. The ejector levers should be in approximately
the same orientation as the processor module faceplate. (See Figure 5c.)
