Feature Description

Chassis • Three horizontal slots. Slots are numbered from 1 (top) to 3 (bottom). Supervisor engine • Supports Supervisor Engine 2, Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor

Engine

32 PISA, and Supervisor Engine 720.

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.

Modules • 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.

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).

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.

1. PEMs are required for Catalyst 6503 and Catalyst 6503-E switches only.

Catalyst 6504-E Switch

Table 1-5 lists the features of the Catalyst 6504-E switch chassis.

Ta b l e 1-5 Catalyst 6504-E Switch Features

Feature Description

Chassis • Four horizontal slots. Slots are numbered from 1 (top) to 4 (bottom). Supervisor engine • Supports Supervisor Engine 2, Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor

Engine

32 PISA, Supervisor Engine 720, and Supervisor

Engine

720-10GE.

Note Refer to your software release notes for the minimum software

release versions required to support the supervisor engines.

• Supervisor engines are installed in slot 1 and 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, Supervisor Engine 720-10GE, and Supervisor

Engine

2T have a built-in switching fabric. Switch Fabric Modules

(WS-C6500-SFM and WS-X6500-SFM2) are not supported.

• 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

when it is 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.

Modules • Supports up to three Catalyst 6500 series modules.

• Does not support the WS-C6500-SFM and WS-X6500-SFM2 Switch

Fabric Modules.

• Some Catalyst 6500 series modules may:

–

Not be supported or have slot restrictions

–

Require that you install a Supervisor Engine 720

–

Require a specific software release level to operate

Note Check your software release notes for specific information.

Backplane bandwidth • 32 GBps shared bus.

• 720 GBps switch fabric.

Feature Description

Clock and VTT module • 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.

Fan tray • The chassis supports one hot-swappable fan tray. One fan tray model is

available:

–

FAN-MOD-4HS—300 CFM

Note The fan tray contains eight individual fans. The individual fans are

not field replaceable; you must replace the fan tray in the event of a fan failure.

• Fan tray STATUS LED

–

Red—One or more individual fans have failed.

–

Green—Fan tray is operating normally.

Power supplies • Supports one or two power supplies. The following power supplies are

supported:

–

PWR-2700-AC/4 (2700 W AC-input power supply).

–

PWR-2700-DC/4 (2700 W DC-input power supply).

• 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.

• 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.

Check your software release notes for any restrictions on the type of module that can be installed.

• Supervisor Engine 720, Supervisor Engine 720-10GE, and Supervisor

Engine

2T have a built-in switching fabric. Switch Fabric Modules

(WS-C6500-SFM and WS-X6500-SFM2) are not supported.

• 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.

• 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.

• Supervisor Engine 2T requires a 3000 W or greater power supply to

operate.

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.

chassis, we recommend that you maintain a minimum 6-inch (15 separation between a wall and the chassis air intake or a wall and the chassis air exhaust. You should also allow a minimum separation of 12 inches (30.5

cm) between the hot air exhaust on one chassis and the air intake on another chassis. Failure to maintain adequate air space can cause the chassis to overheat and the system to fail. On Catalyst chassis in which the airflow is from front to back, the chassis may be placed side-by-side.

Modules (WS-C6500-SFM and WS-X6500-SFM2) are not supported.

• 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.

• 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.

Catalyst 6509-E Switch

• 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.

• Supervisor Engine 2T requires a 3000 W or greater power supply to

operate.

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.
