Cisco 7505 Overview
The Cisco 7505 supports multiprotocol, multimedia routing and bridging with a wide variety of
protocols and any combination of available electrical interfaces and media. Network interfaces reside on
interface processors that provide a direct connection between the CyBus in your Cisco 7505 and external
networks.
The Cisco 7505 has five slots: four interface processor slots (0 through 3) and one slot for the Route
Switch Processor (RSP2, RSP4/4+, or RSP8). The Cisco 7505 supports 4 VIPs, one for each interface
processor slot. The Cisco 7505 uses a single power supply, with two models available: DC input or
AC input.
The front, or noninterface processor end, of the Cisco 7505 has a removable panel that is secured with
two captive fasteners. See Figure 1-1. Removing the panel provides access to the internal components:
the power supply and fan tray.
