Overriding the bundle can result in incompatibility among the various interface processors in the system.
Note
We recommend that you use only the microcode image that is bundled. The exception to this is CIP
microcode, which as of Cisco IOS Release 11.1(1), is unbundled from the IOS software image bundle,
and is available in a separate bundle on floppy disks, a TFTP server, CCO, or Flash memory cards.
Installing the RSP2
The following sections describe the procedures for installing or replacing an RSP2. Ensure that your
system meets the minimum software, hardware, and microcode requirements described in the following:
"Software Prerequisites" section on page
"Microcode Requirements" section on page
for instructions on removing the RSP2, and then to the
installation instructions. After the new RSP2 is secure, follow the procedures in the

Removing the only installed RSP2 from a system while the system is operating will cause the system to

crash. Consider this before removing an RSP2 while the system is operating. To ensure that the standby
RSP2 operates properly with the full system configuration should the active RSP2 ever fail, the standby
RSP2 must have the same DRAM and the same (or higher) Flash memory capacity as the active RSP2.

the chassis slots. To ensure that you can properly remove or install an RSP2 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 RSP2 in RSP slot 7 (and fasten its captive installation screws as
appropriate), and then reinstall the interface processor in slot 8.
List of Parts and Tools
You need some or all of the following parts and tools to remove and replace an RSP2 or to upgrade
DRAM. If you need additional equipment, contact a customer service representative for ordering
