My guess is that you have a 7505 rather than a 7005 (no such animal). A 7505 has "7500 Series on the back (non-interface side) and 7505 on a sticker by the power cord. The good news is that it accepts newer RSP cards. I did compare a RSP2 to a RSP7000 and found that the connectors are different. As well, there are metal tabs on the back of the cards. They have a keyway that prevents them from being seated into the wrong slot. The RSP2 and RSP7000 have different keyways. So in answer to the original question - the way to upgrade a 7010 to run IOS greater than 11.2 is to acquire the RSP7000 & RSP7000CI card set.

The router is for home lab use only.
