RSP4+ Bootflash Memory Upgrade to 16MB
Installation and Configuration Guide
Product Numbers: MEM-16F-RSP4+=
Customer Order Number: DOC-7812288=
An 8 MB bootflash image is supplied with the RSP4+, RSP4, RSP2, RSP1 and RSP7000 on the Cisco
7500 series routers. This image is insufficient to store newer, larger Cisco IOS Releases, such as
12.1(4.4)T2 and 12.1(5)T, and future releases on the RSP4+. Use the instructions in this document to
upgrade to a 16-MB bootflash. Alternatively, you can use Cisco IOS Release 12.0(13)S rsp-boot-mz
image or other image, which is less than 7.7 MB in size. Contact the Technical Assistance Center (see
Technical Assistance Center, page 19) for more information on this latter alternative.
Note: The RSP8 has 16 MB of Flash memory and does not encounter this problem.

Electrical Equipment Guidelines
Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:
• Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the router interior, locate the emergency
power-off switch for the room in which you are working.
• Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a router.
• Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.
• Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.
• Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard or makes the equipment unsafe.
• Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power
extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are
improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures.
Use the following guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
• Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
• Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.
• When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to
properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane.
• When removing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to
release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.
• Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or
connectors.
• Place a removed board component-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding container;
otherwise, immediately place it in a static shielding container.
• Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects
components from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
• Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.
Installation Requirements
78-12288-02
CautionForsafety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement
should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohm).

RSP4+ Bootflash Memory Upgrade to 16MB Installation and Configuration Guide
78-12288-02
Overview
Bootflash is a single inline memory module (SIMM) with a bootloader image that allows the router to
access the Cisco IOS image when powering up or initializing the system. Bootloader images can be
downloadedoverthe network, or from a local server.Referto Table 1 for a list of IOS images that require
a 16MB bootflash.
In this document, you will perform the following steps to upgrade the bootflash to 16MB:
• Confirm the bootflash size
• Remove the RSP4+
• Remove the 8-MB SIMM
• Install the 16-MB SIMM
• Reinstall the RSP4+
• Load and configure the new bootflash
Confirming the Bootflash Memory Size
Overview
To check the bootflash memory size on your RSP4+, use the show version command. The following
example indicates that the bootflash memory size is insufficient for Cisco IOS Release 12.1(4.4)T2 and
12.1(5)T, and later releases.

Removing the RSP4+
The first step in upgrading the bootflash is to remove the RSP4+ from the Cisco 7500 series router.
Step 1Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap between you and any unpainted chassis surface.
Step 2Turn off the system power.
Step 3Disconnect the cables from the RSP4+.
Step 4Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws at both ends of the board. (See Figure 1.)
78-12288-02
CautionUse the ejector levers to remove or install the RSP4+. Failure to do so can cause erroneous
system error messages indicating a board failure.
Step 5Place your thumbs on the ejector levers and simultaneously pull both of the ejectors outward (in the
opposite direction from that show in c in Figure 1) to release the RSP4+ from the backplane connector.

Removing the SIMM
After removing the RSP4+ from the Cisco 7500 series router, remove the 8-MB SIMM, using the
following procedure.
Step 1Position the RSP4+ so that the handle is away from you and the bus connector is toward you—opposite
of the position shown in Figure 2.

CautionTo prevent ESD damage, handle the edges of the SIMM only; avoid touching the memory
module, pins, or traces (the metal fingers) along the socket edge.
Step 5Place the SIMM in an antistatic bag to protect it from ESD damage.
This completes the SIMM removal procedure. Proceed to the next section to install the new SIMM.
Installing the SIMM
After removing the 8-MB SIMM, use the following procedure to install the 16-MB SIMM.
Step 1Position the RSP4+ so that the handle is away from you and the bus connector is toward you—opposite
of the position shown in Figure 2.
Step 2Locate the memory SIMM socket for the insertion. The SIMM occupies socket U1. (See Figure 3.)
Step 3Hold the SIMM between your thumbs and forefingers, component-side-up, with the connector edge
(the metal fingers) away from you. (See Figure 5.)
NoteSIMMs haveapolarizationnotchtoprevent them from being installed backwards. Hold the

This completes the new SIMM installation procedure.
RSP4+ Bootflash Memory Upgrade to 16MB Installation and Configuration Guide
78-12288-02
Installing the RSP4+
Follow the steps below to reinstall the RSP4+ that was removed.
Step 1Hold the RSP4+ handle with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support the
RSP4+ and guide it into the slot. (See Figure 2.) Avoid touching the card or any connector pins.
CautionTo prevent ESD damage, handle the RSP4+ by the handles and carrier edges only.
Step 2Place the back of the RSP4+ in the slot and align the notch on the carrier with the groove in the slot.
(See Figure 1.)
Step 3While keeping the RSP4+ parallel to the backplane, carefully slide it into the slot until the back of the
faceplate makes contact with the ejector levers, and then stop. (See b in Figure 1.)
CautionUse the ejector levers to remove or install the RSP4+. Failure to do so can cause erroneous
system error messages indicating a board failure.
Installing the RSP4+
Step 4Using your thumbs, simultaneously push both ejector levers inward until the RSP4+ is pushed entirely
into its slot. (See c in Figure 1.)
Step 5Tighten both captive installation screws.
Step 6Reconnect the cables to the RSP4+.
This completes theRSP4+ installation procedure.
Loading and Configuring the Bootflash Image
Using the steps in this procedure, you will:
• Enable the router to enter privileged mode
• Confirm the new bootflash size
• Format the bootflash
• Copy the rsp-boot image onto the bootflash
• Confirm that the image has been copied to bootflash
• Modify the configuration file to reboot using the new bootflash image
• Configure the router to use the bootloader image in bootflash
• Save the configuration
• Confirm that the configuration reflects the new bootloader image

NoteIn the preceding example, the exclamation points (!!!) appear as the file is downloaded,and
the “C” characters signify calculation of the checksum, which is a verification that the file
has been correctly downloaded to bootflash.
Step 6Use the dir bootflash command to confirm that the image has been copied to Flash memory. The output
should display the filename of the image you copied to Flash memory (rsp11-1 in the following
example):
Router# dir bootflash:
Directory of bootflash:/
1 -rw- 5090824 Jan 01 2000 00:02:28 rsp-boot-mz.121-5.T1
7602176 bytes total (2511224 bytes free)
Router#
Step 7To ensure that the new image is used as a bootloader, add the appropriate commands to the
configuration file. To modify the configuration file, use the configure terminal command, as follows:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Step 8Specify that you are changing the bootloader image, and that it will load from bootflash. Then add the
filename of the new bootloader image to be loaded from bootflash:
This completes the procedure for loading and configuring the boot image.
