You may want to take a peek at this(watch wrap): http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/ 120newft/120limit/120s/120s13/slcr.htm#27529 As I interpret the document, the benefit gained over SSR(single slot reload) versus traditional OIR(online insertion and removal) is a better/more graceful extraction and reinsertion of the line card from the CBus. I always viewed the insertion and removal of the line cards from my BFR as a somewhat "interesting event". Anything that helps to murphyproof the process and isolate the removed/reinserted card from the working protocols and processes must be a good thing. Frankly, based upon my read of the document, I can't see a good reason not to use it for the platforms that support it. I would test it outmyslef, but unfortunately I don't have a 7507. Mine is a non-RSP7000 cisco 7000. Finally, the benefits of ths procedure would not seem applicable to you, because in order to get new code working, you will need to get a reload of the RSP. Once that happens, the router itself will go through a reload. This procedure is more for non-RSP line cards that need a reload.
