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.
