Table 1-1 Catalyst 6503 Switch Features
Feature
Description
Three horizontal slots. Slots are numbered from 1 (top) to 3 (bottom).
Note Refer to your software release notes for the minimum software release versions required to support the supervisor engines.
Supervisor engines can be installed in either slot 1 or slot 2.
Note Slots not occupied by supervisor engines can be used for modules. Check your software release notes for any restrictions on the type of module that can be installed.
Supervisor Engine 720 with 10-GB uplink ports (VS-S720-10G-3C and VS-S720-10G-3CXL) is not supported on the Catalyst 6503 switch chassis.
Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor Engine 32 PISA, or a Supervisor Engine 720 requires that the optional high-speed fan tray (FAN-MOD-3HS) be installed in the chassis.
Supervisor Engine 720 has built-in switching fabric.
The uplink ports are fully functional on the redundant supervisor engine in standby mode.
Note In systems with redundant supervisor engines, both supervisor engines must be the same model and have the same daughter card configurations. Each supervisor engine must have the resources to run the switch on its own, which means that all supervisor engine resources are duplicated. Identical supervisor engine memory configurations are recommended, but are not required as long as the supervisor engine with the smaller memory configuration is sufficient to run the configured features of the switch. Additionally, each supervisor engine must have its own flash device and console port connections.
Supports up to two Catalyst 6500 series modules.
Does not support the WS-C6500-SFM and WS-X6500-SFM2 Switch Fabric Modules.
Does not support the WS-X67xx modules.
Some Catalyst 6500 series modules may:
– Not be supported
– Require that you install a Supervisor Engine 720
– Have chassis slot restrictions
– Require a specific software release level to operate
Note Check your software release notes for specific information.
32 GBps shared bus.
720 GBps switch fabric.
Clock and VTT modules
One replaceable clock module (CLK-7600=) provides clocking signals to the EOBC channel and the switching bus.
Nonreplaceable voltage termination (VTT) module provides reference voltage for bus signals.
The chassis supports one hot-swappable fan tray. Two fan tray models are available:
– FAN-MOD-3 (Standard fan tray—170 CFM). Supports Supervisor Engine 1 and Supervisor Engine 2 only; does not support Supervisor Engine 32 or Supervisor Engine 720.
– FAN-MOD-3HS (Optional high-speed fan tray—270 CFM). Required for Supervisor Engine 32 and Supervisor Engine 720. Supports Supervisor Engine 2.
Note Both fan tray models contain four individual fans. The individual fans are not field replaceable; you must replace the fan tray in the event of a fan failure.
Note The WS-C6503-E-FAN tray is not supported in the Catalyst 6503 chassis.
– Red—One or more individual fans have failed.
– Green—Fan tray is operating normally.
Power Entry Module (PEM) 1
A PEM is required for each installed power supply.
– PEM-15A-AC (PEM for 950 W AC-input power supplies).
– PEM-DC/3 (PEM for 950 W DC-input power supplies).
– PEM-20A-AC+ (PEM for 1400 W AC-input power supplies).
Supports one or two power supplies. The following power supplies are supported:
– PWR-950-AC (950 W AC-input power supply).
– PWR-950-DC (950 W DC-input power supply).
– PWR-1400-AC (1400 W AC-input power supply).
Installed power supplies can be of different wattage ratings. Installed power supplies can be both AC-input, both DC-input, or one AC-input and one DC-input. Power supplies can be configured in either redundant or combined mode.
Note For Catalyst 6503 and Catalyst 6503-E chassis that are equipped with DC-input power supplies, the system (NEBS) ground serves as the primary safety ground and must be installed. The DC-input power supplies for these chassis do not have a separate ground.
All Catalyst 6500 series AC-input power supplies require single-phase source AC. Source AC can be out of phase between multiple power supplies or multiple AC-power plugs on the same power supply because all AC power supply inputs are isolated.
Single power supplies are installed in the lower power supply bay. The second power supply is installed in the upper power supply bay.
Note For proper operation of the power supply OUTPUT FAIL LED, systems with single power supplies must be configured with a minimum of one fan tray and one supervisor engine. Systems with dual power supplies must have a minimum configuration of one fan tray, one supervisor engine, and one additional module. Failure to meet these minimum configuration requirements can cause a false power supply output fail signal.

Feature
Descriptions
Six horizontal slots. Slots are numbered from 1 (top) to 6 (bottom).
Note Refer to your software release notes for the minimum software release versions required to support the supervisor engines.
– Supervisor Engine 2 must be installed in slot 1 or slot 2.
– Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor Engine 32 PISA, Supervisor Engine 720, and Supervisor Engine 720-10GE must be installed in slot 5 or slot 6.
Note Slots not occupied by supervisor engines can be used for modules. Check your software release notes for any restrictions on the type of module that can be installed.
Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor Engine 32 PISA, Supervisor Engine 720, and Supervisor Engine 720-10GE all require the high-speed fan tray (WS-C6K-6SLOT-FAN2) be installed in the chassis. You must also install a 2500 W or higher capacity power supply in the chassis to power the high-speed fan tray.
Note The 2500 W power supply, when supporting the high-speed fan tray, can be powered from either 120 VAC or 220 VAC.
Supervisor Engine 720 and Supervisor Engine 720-10GE have a built-in switching fabric. Switch Fabric Modules (WS-C6500-SFM and WS-X6500-SFM2) are not supported by Supervisor Engine 720 and Supervisor Engine 720-10GE.
Supervisor Engine 32 and Supervisor Engine 32 PISA do not support the Switch Fabric Modules (WS-C6500-SFM and WS-X6500-SFM2).
The uplink ports are fully functional on the redundant supervisor engine in standby mode.
Note In systems with redundant supervisor engines, both supervisor engines must be the same model and have the same daughter card configurations. Each supervisor engine must have the resources to run the switch on its own, which means that all supervisor engine resources are duplicated. Identical supervisor engine memory configurations are recommended, but are not required as long as the supervisor engine with the smaller memory configuration is sufficient to run the configured features of the switch. Additionally, each supervisor engine must have its own flash device and console port connections.
Supports up to five Catalyst 6500 series modules.
WS-C6500-SFM and WS-X6500-SFM2 Switch Fabric Modules must be installed in slot 5 or slot 6.
Note Mixing WS-C6500-SFM and WS-X6500-SFM2 Switch Fabric Modules in the Catalyst 6506 chassis is allowed.
Some Catalyst 6500 series modules may:
– Not be supported
– Require that you install a Supervisor Engine 720
– Have chassis slot restrictions
– Require a specific software release level to operate
Note Check your software release notes for specific information on module support and restrictions.

Clock and VTT modules
Two replaceable clock modules (WS-C6K-CL=) provide clocking signals to the EOBC channel and the switching bus.
Three replaceable voltage termination (VTT) modules (WS-C6K-VTT=) provide reference voltage for bus signals.
The chassis supports one hot-swappable fan tray. Two fan tray models are available:
– WS-C6K-6SLOT-FAN (Standard fan tray—227 CFM). Supports Supervisor Engine 1 and Supervisor Engine 2 only; does not support Supervisor Engine 32 or Supervisor Engine 720.
– WS-C6K-6SLOT-FAN2 (Optional high-speed fan tray—420 CFM. Required for Supervisor Engine 32 and Supervisor Engine 720. Supports Supervisor Engine 1 and Supervisor Engine 2.
Note You must install a 2500 W or higher capacity power supply in the chassis to power the high-speed fan tray. The 2500 W power supply can be powered from either 120 VAC or 220 VAC.
Note The fan trays contains six individual fans. The individual fans are not field replaceable; you must replace the fan tray in the event of a fan failure.
– Red—One or more individual fans have failed.
– Green—Fan tray is operating normally.
Supports one or two power supplies. The following power supplies are supported:
– WS-CAC-1000W (1000 W AC-input power supply).
– WS-CAC-1300W (1300 W AC-input power supply).
– WS-CDC-1300W (1300 W DC-input power supply).
– WS-CAC-2500W (2500 W AC-input power supply).
– WS-CDC-2500W (2500 W DC-input power supply).

– WS-CAC-8700W (8700 W AC-input power supply).
Note The 6000 W AC-input and DC-input power supplies, and the 8700 W AC-input power supply are limited to 4000 W maximum output when installed in the Catalyst 6506 chassis.
Installed power supplies can be of different wattage ratings. Installed power supplies can also be both AC-input, both DC-input, or one AC-input and one DC-input. Power supplies can be configured in either redundant or combined mode.
All Catalyst 6500 series AC-input power supplies require single-phase source AC. Source AC can be out of phase between multiple power supplies or multiple AC-power plugs on the same power supply because all AC power supply inputs are isolated.
Single power supplies are installed in the left power supply bay. The second power supply is installed in the right power supply bay.
You must install a 2500 W or higher capacity power supply when using the Supervisor Engine 32 or the Supervisor Engine 720 and the high-speed fan tray.
Note For proper operation of the power supply OUTPUT FAIL LED, systems with single power supplies must be configured with a minimum of one fan tray and one supervisor engine. Systems with dual power supplies must have a minimum configuration of one fan tray, one supervisor engine, and one additional module. Failure to meet these minimum configuration requirements can cause a false power supply output fail signal.

Supervisor Engine 32 and Supervisor Engine 32 PISA do not support the Switch Fabric Modules (WS-C6500-SFM and WS-X6500-SFM2).
The uplink ports are fully functional on all redundant supervisor engine models when they are in standby mode.
Note In systems with redundant supervisor engines, both supervisor engines must be the same model and have the same daughter card configurations. Each supervisor engine must have the resources to run the switch on its own, which means that all supervisor engine resources are duplicated. Identical supervisor engine memory configurations are recommended, but are not required as long as the supervisor engine with the smaller memory configuration is sufficient to run the configured features of the switch. Additionally, each supervisor engine must have its own flash device and console port connections.
Supports up to eight Catalyst 6500 series modules.
WS-C6500-SFM and WS-X6500-SFM2 Switch Fabric Modules must be installed in slot 5 or slot 6.
Note Mixing WS-C6500-SFM and WS-X6500-SFM2 Switch Fabric Modules in the Catalyst 6509-E chassis is allowed.
Some Catalyst 6500 series modules may:
– Not be supported
– Require that you install a Supervisor Engine 720
– Have chassis slot restrictions
– Require a specific software release level to operate
Note Check your software release notes for specific information on module supported and restrictions.

Table 1-21 lists the features of the Catalyst 6513 switch chassis.
Table 1-21 Catalyst 6513 Switch Features
Feature
Description
Thirteen horizontal slots. Slots are numbered from (1) top to (13) bottom.
Note Refer to your software release notes for the minimum software release versions required to support the supervisor engines.
– Supervisor Engine 2 must be installed in slot 1 and slot 2.
– Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor Engine 32 PISA, Supervisor Engine 720, and Supervisor Engine 720-10GE must be installed in slot 7 and slot 8.
Note Slots not occupied by supervisor engines can be used for modules. Check your software release notes for any restrictions on the type of module that can be installed.
Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor Engine 32 PISA, Supervisor Engine 720, and Supervisor Engine 720-10GE require that you install the high-speed fan tray (WS-C6K-13SLT-FAN2) be installed in the chassis. You must also install a 2500 W or higher capacity power supply in the chassis to power the high-speed fan tray.
Supervisor Engine 720 and Supervisor Engine 720-10GE have a built-in switching fabric. Switch Fabric Modules (WS-C6500-SFM and WS-X6500-SFM2) are not supported by Supervisor Engine 720 and Supervisor Engine 720-10GE.
Supervisor Engine 32 and Supervisor Engine 32 PISA do not support the Switch Fabric Modules (WS-C6500-SFM and WS-X6500-SFM2).
The uplink ports are fully functional on all redundant supervisor engine models when they are in standby mode.
Note In systems with redundant supervisor engines, both supervisor engines must be the same model and have the same daughter card configurations. Each supervisor engine must have the resources to run the switch on its own, which means that all supervisor engine resources are duplicated. Identical supervisor engine memory configurations are recommended, but are not required as long as the supervisor engine with the smaller memory configuration is sufficient to run the configured features of the switch. Additionally, each supervisor engine must have its own flash device and console port connections.
