Description
The Cisco A9K-RSP-FILR is a Route Switch Processor (RSP) filler card designed for the ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. It serves as a placeholder for unpopulated RSP slots, maintaining optimal airflow and thermal efficiency within the chassis. Constructed with durable materials and engineered to Cisco’s high standards, the A9K-RSP-FILR ensures system integrity in configurations that do not require a second active RSP. Its lightweight, tool-less design allows for quick installation and removal, making it a practical addition for scalable network environments.
While the A9K-RSP-FILR does not contain active processing components, it plays a vital role in maintaining the operational stability of the ASR 9000 system. It is compatible with various ASR 9000 chassis models, including the 9006, 9010, and 9922, supporting flexible deployment options. This filler card is especially useful in used or refurbished systems where cost-effective expansion planning is key. For buyers seeking to maintain airflow consistency and protect internal components in a partially populated chassis, this filler module is a reliable and necessary component.
