Cisco 7603 Router
The Cisco 7603 router chassis has three horizontal slots that are numbered from top to bottom. (See
Figure 1-1
.)
Slot 1 is reserved for the supervisor engine, which provides switching, local and remote management,
and multiple GBIC uplink ports.
Slot 2 can contain a redundant supervisor engine that can act as a backup if the first supervisor engine
fails. If a redundant supervisor engine is not required, slot 2 is available for an OSM or other supported
Catalyst 6500 series modules.
Note
Both supervisor engines in a single chassis must be identical.
Note
The GBIC uplink ports are fully functional on the redundant supervisor engine in standby mode.
The Cisco 7603 router supports the following supervisor engines:
•
Supervisor Engine 2
•
Supervisor Engine 720
Note
The Cisco 7603 router does not support Supervisor Engine 32.
•
The Cisco 7603 router also supports:
–
Up to two additional hot-swappable OSMs or Catalyst 6500 series modules
–
Hot-swappable fan assembly
–
Redundant AC-input or DC-input power supplies (950 W)
Note
