Preface
This preface describes the audience, organization, and conventions of this installation and configuration guide, and provides information on how to obtain related documentation.
This guide contains specific procedures for the initial hardware installation, and procedures for performing the basic system configuration of your Cisco 7500 series router. The Cisco 7500 series includes six routers: the Cisco 7505, Cisco 7507, Cisco 7507-MX, Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX, and Cisco 7576.
The Cisco 7505, Cisco 7507, and Cisco 7507-MX routers arrive with all processor modules installed; however, the Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX, and Cisco 7576 routers arrive with processor modules individually packaged; you need to install these in your system. After you install the hardware and perform a basic system configuration, you will then use the appropriate software configuration publications and companion publications to more completely configure your system and its interfaces.
Audience
Setting up and maintaining a network requires the knowledge and expertise of people with a variety of skills. In many cases, the people responsible for installing hardware and wiring are not the ones who configure the software and administer the network; therefore, this publication provides information specific to installing the router hardware and performing a basic system configuration. To use this publication, you should be familiar with electronic circuitry and wiring practices, and basic network configuration, and preferably have experience as an electronic or electromechanical technician.
Organization
This guide is organized as follows:
Chapter Title DescriptionDescribes the physical properties of each of the Cisco 7500 series routers. The remaining sections of this chapter describe router components, which are considered to be standard equipment and ship with each router.
Describes safety considerations, tools required, an overview of the installation, and procedures you should perform before the actual installation of your Cisco 7500 series router.
Provides information for installing the router hardware. The chapter includes a section describing generic installation requirements; it also includes additional sections for each Cisco 7500 series router.
Provides simple procedures for completing a basic system configuration of your Cisco 7500 series router, and for checking and saving this configuration to system memory.
Describes the procedures required to perform routine maintenance and to remove and replace field-replaceable units (FRUs) in your Cisco 7505 router.
Describes the procedures required to perform routine maintenance and to remove and replace field-replaceable units (FRUs) in your Cisco 7507 and Cisco 7507-MX router.

Related Documentation
Use the Cisco 7500 Series Routers Documentation Roadmap to access the appropriate installation and configuration guide for your specific interface processor. Information is available online or on the Documentation CD-ROM. Use this information in conjunction with the procedures described in Chapter 4, "Performing a Basic Configuration of the System," to configure the interface processors in your router.
For comprehensive descriptions and examples of software configuration commands and the procedures for implementing them, refer to the related software configuration and reference documentation listed in the "If You Need More Configuration Information" section and to the Cisco IOS software release note specific to the release of Cisco IOS software you are running on your system.
For a complete list of related documentation, refer to the Cisco 7500 Series Routers Documentation Roadmap. Your router also ships with one of the following Quick Start Guides, along with the safety and compliance documents listed below:
•Cisco 7505 Router Quick Start Guide (DOC-7812949=)
•Cisco 7507 Router Quick Start Guide (DOC-7813034=)
•Cisco 7513 and 7576 Routers Quick Start Guide (DOC-7812954=)
•Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco 7500 Series Routers(DOC-784194=)
Cisco 7500 series routers include many different field-replacable units (FRUs), such as power supplies, rack-mount kits, route switch processors, interface processors, versatile inteface processors, port adapters, and so forth. The documentation flyer includes links to these documents.
Information is available online, on the Documentation CD-ROM, or as printed copies.

Submitting a Service Request
Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool automatically provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request will be assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest
For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.
To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:
Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)

Definitions of Service Request Severity
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
