Install the Hardware
The Cisco 7513 has 13 slots: interface processor
slots 0 through 5, Route Switch Processor slots 6 and
7, and interface processor slots 8 through 12.
The Cisco 7576 router is two Cisco 7500 series
routers configured on a single split backplane, with
13 slots. Router A uses interface processor slots 0
through 5 with a Route Switch Processor in slot 6.
Router B uses interface processor slots 8 through 12
with a Route Switch Processor in slot 7.
The Cisco 7513 and Cisco 7576 routers have bays
for up to two AC-input or DC-input power supplies.
Each chassis will operate with one power supply, but
a second power supply allows load sharing and
increased system availability.
Note
The Cisco 7576 does not support the high
system availability (HSA) feature. The RSP in slot 6
is automatically the system master for router A and
the RSP in slot 7 is automatically the system master
for router B.
