The backplane slots are keyed so that the RP, SP (or SSP), and interface processors can be installed
only in the slots designated for them. Keys on the backplane fit into two key guides on each processor
module. (See Figure 1-5.) While the RP and SP (or SSP) each use unique keys, all five interface
processor slots use the same key, so you can install an interface processor in any interface processor
slot, but not in the RP or SP (or SSP) slots.
