Installing the RSP8
Place the removed RSP8 on an antistatic mat or foam. If you plan to return the RSP8 to the factory,
Step 7
immediately place it in an antistatic bag to prevent ESD damage.
Attach the equipment end of the ESD-preventive strap to the RSP8 before performing any maintenance
Step 8
on the RSP8 that might create an ESD hazard.
This completes the removal procedure. If you removed the RSP8 to replace DIMMs, proceed to the
"Replacing and Upgrading DRAM DIMMs" section on page
to the next section to install the new RSP8.
Replacing the RSP8
Removing the only installed RSP8 from a system while the system is operating will cause the system to

crash. Consider this before removing an RSP8 while the system is operating. To ensure that the standby
RSP8 operates properly with the full system configuration should the active RSP8 ever fail, the standby
RSP8 must have the same (or higher) DRAM and Flash memory capacity as the active RSP8. See the
"Memory Components" section on page 6
Note
The carriers on processor modules have electromagnetic interference (EMI) fences for EMI shielding;
therefore, they fit very tightly in the chassis slots. To ensure that you can properly remove or install an
RSP8 in RSP slot 7 from the Cisco 7513 router, we recommend that you proceed as follows: first remove
an interface processor installed in slot 8, remove or install the RSP8 in RSP slot 7 (and fasten its captive
installation screws as appropriate), and then reinstall the interface processor in slot 8.
The RSP8 is keyed for installation only in an RSP slot. By default, the active RSP is the one that occupies
the first RSP slot in the router: slot 2 in the Cisco 7507 and Cisco 7507-MX, and slot 6 in the Cisco 7513
and Cisco 7513-MX.
To install an RSP8, complete the following steps:
Grasp the RSP8 handle with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support and guide

it into the slot. (See
Place the back of the RSP8 in the appropriate RSP slot and align the notches along the edge of the carrier

with the grooves in the slot. (See
