Compatibility Requirements
This section describes compatibility requirements for the RSP8.
Chassis Slot and DRAM Requirements
Following are chassis slot and DRAM requirements for ensuring RSP8 compatibility.

When you remove a processor module, place it component-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a
static shielding bag. Immediately place the module in a static shielding bag if you need to return it
to the factory.
Avoid contact between electronic equipment and clothing. Antistatic straps only protect the
equipment from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
There are no restrictions on installing an RSP8 in a Cisco 7505, however, the Cisco 7505 does not
support the HSA or the HA features.
There are no restrictions on installing an RSP8 in a Cisco 7507 or Cisco 7507-MX provided that you
install the RSP8 in slot 2, slot 3, or both. With the HSA or HA features enabled, you will install an
RSP8 (or an RSP8 and an RSP16) in both RSP slots.
There are no restrictions on installing an RSP8 in a Cisco 7513 or Cisco 7513-MX provided that you
install the RSP8 in slot 6, slot 7, or both. With the HSA or HA features enabled, you will install an
RSP8 (or an RSP8 and an RSP16) in both RSP slots.
There are no restrictions on installing an RSP8 in a Cisco 7576 provided that you install the RSP8
in slot 6 (for router A) and slot 7 (for router B). (The Cisco 7576 does not support the HSA or HA
features.)
It is assumed that if you install two RSP8s (or an RSP8 and an RSP16) in the Cisco 7507,
Cisco 7507-MX, Cisco 7513, or Cisco 7513-MX, you plan to enable and configure the HSA or HA
features.
Flash memory cards, Flash Disks, and DRAM DIMMs must be obtained from Cisco Systems. See
the
"PC Card Slots" section on page 8
Maximum DRAM speed is 60 nanoseconds (ns), maximum DIMM height is 1 inch
(2.54 centimeters), and maximum DRAM DIMM voltage is 3.3 volts (V).
You cannot use a Flash memory card or a Flash Disk that was formatted on another RSP-based
system, such as the RSP7000, RSP1, RSP2, or RSP4, which is running a boot or Cisco IOS software
image earlier than:
12.0(5)T or a later release of Cisco IOS Release 12.0 T
–
12.0(9)S or a later release of Cisco IOS Release 12.0 S
–
