The
Cisco
7513
router
supports
downloadable
system
software
and microcode
for
most upgrades
which
enables
you
to
remotely
download
store
and
boot
from
new image
The
publication
Upgrading
Software
and Microcode
in
Cisco
7XXX
Series Routers
Document Number
78-1144-xx
which
accompanies
all
upgrade
kits provides
instructions for upgrading
from
either
floppy
disks
or over
the
network
Flash
memory
contains
the default
system
software
either
in
the Flash
memory
SIMM
or Flash
memory card
An
EPROM
device
on
each
interface
processor
contains
the
latest
interface
processor
microcode
version
in
compressed form
At
system
startup
an
internal
system
utility
scans
for
compatibility
problems
between
the
installed
interface
processor
types
and
the
bundled microcode
images
then
decompresses
the
images
into
running
memory
DRAM
The
bundled
microcode
images
then
function
the
same
as
images
loaded
from
the
microcode
EPROM
DRAM
DRAM
stores
routing
tables
protocols
and network
accounting
applications
The
standard
RSP2
configuration
is
16
MB
of
DRAM
with
up
to
128
MB
available
through
SIMM
upgrades
Note
When
upgrading
DRAM
you must
use
SIMMs
from
an
approved
vendor
To
ensure
that
you
obtain the
most
current
vendor
information
obtain
the
list
from Customer

The
nonvolatile
random-access
memory
NVRAM
stores
the
system
configuration
and
the
environmental
monitoring
logs and
is
backed
up
with
built-in
lithium
battery
that
retains
the
contents
for
minimum
of
five
years
When
replacing
an
RSP2
be

to
back
up
your
configuration
to
remote

replacing
an
RSP2
back
up
the running
configuration
to
Trivial
File
Transfer
Protocol
TFTP
file
server
so
that
you
can
later
retrieve
it
If
the configuration
is
not
saved
the
entire
configuration
will
be lostinside
the
NYRAM
on
the
removed
RSP2and
you
will
have
to
reenter
it
manually
This
procedure
is
not necessary
if
you
are temporarily
removing
an
RSP2
you
will
reinstall
lithium
batteries
retain
the configuration
in
memory
until
you
replace
the
RSP2
in
the
system
Flash
Memory
Either
the
onboard
Flash
memory
SIMM
or the Flash
memory
PCMCIA
card
allow
you
to
remotely
load
and
store
multiple
Cisco
lOS and microcode
images
You
can
download
new
image
over
the
network
or
from
local
server
and
then
add
the
new
image
to
Flash
memory
or replace the
existing
files
You
can
also
transfer
images between
Flash
memory
cards
and
the
onboard
Flash
memory
SIMM
You
can
then
boot
routers
either
manually
or automatically
from any
of the stored
images
Flash
memory
also
functions
as
TFTP
server
to
allow
other
servers
to
remotely
boot
from
stored
images
or
to
copy them
into
their
own
Flash
