SFP and SFP+ Transceiver Module Ports
The chassis contain 16 ports of 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ or 100BASE-FX fiber-optic transceiver modules.
All ports support 1-Gigabit SFP, 10-Gigabit SFP+, or 100BASE-FX fiber-optic SFP modules.
The ports also support Cisco Trust Security (CTS) and virtual switch link (VSL) and can operate as an Instant
Access (AI) Parent in both 1-Gigabit and 10-Gigabit modes.
The SFP and SFP+ transceiver modules provide copper or fiber-optic connections to other devices. These
transceiver modules are field-replaceable and provide the uplink interfaces when installed in an SFP module
slot. The SFP transceiver modules have LC connectors for fiber-optic connections or RJ-45 connectors for
copper connections.
For a list of supported SFP and SFP+ modules, see the switch data sheet: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/

Half-Wide Modular Slots
The chassis has four half-wide modular slots that accept pluggable, port cards that can expand the capability
of the switch. For more detailed information about the modular port cards and their installation, see the
"Installing the Modular Port Card" chapter. The chassis is delivered with modular slot blank covers already
installed, which must remain installed if the port cards are not used. The slots are numbered as shown in the
following figure.

Power Supply Slots
The chassis has two slots that accept either two 3000 W AC-input or two 3000 W DC-input power supplies,
or one of each. The chassis is delivered with power supplies already installed in the power supply slots. If
only one power supply is ordered, then a blank cover is installed in the empty power supply slot, which must
remain installed if a power supply is not installed.

Management Port
The management port is a 10/100/1000 copper Ethernet port directly connected to the route processor. With
an network interface card (NIC) interface, it supports TFTP image downloading, network management, SNMP,
Telnet, and SSH connections. The management port is isolated from other ports in the system; it is not part
of the EARL forwarding logic. The management port provides direct access to the CPU, even when the system
is heavily loaded.
The management port is a Layer 3 port in host mode, and only accepts traffic that terminates on the router.
This port does not route packets between itself and other ports. The port processes only the following packet
types and properly enqueues them:
•
•
Management Port
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
IPv4 unicast
Related Topics
USB Port Type B
The USB 2.0 port Type B serves as a second console connection to the route processor. The USB console
port connection uses a USB Type A to Type B cable. The USB console interface speeds are the same as the
RJ-45 console interface speeds. Windows PCs need a driver for the USB port.
The USB-prefer mode is the default, but it can be overridden using the command-line interface (CLI). When
this port is in USB-prefer mode, the RJ-45 console port will be disabled if both ports are connected. For more
information on using the CLI to configure the USB console interface, see the Catalyst 6500 software guide.

The USB Type A port is the only external storage interface for this switch. The port is connected to the route
processor, which allows the Cisco IOS software to access the port. The port supports Cisco USB flash drives
with capacities from 128 MB to 8 GB (USB devices with port densities of 128 MB, 256 MB, 1 GB, 4 GB,
and 8 GB are supported). Cisco IOS software provides standard file system access to the flash device: read,
write, erase, and copy. The software also provides the ability to format the flash device with a FAT file system
(FAT32 and FAT16).

Console Port
The console port is an RJ-45 port that provides universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) support
to access the route processor with a serial console running at 9600 baud rate with 8 bits for data, no parity bit,
and 1 stop bit.

The fan tray is responsible for cooling the entire chassis and interfacing with environmental monitors to trigger
alarms when conditions exceed thresholds. The fan tray supports Online Insertion and Removal (OIR).
The fan tray contains four high-efficiency fans with variable speed settings and thermal sensors. If one fan
fails, the speed of the others is increased and a minor alarm is triggered. If a major fan tray failure occurs, the
system is shut down. The individual fans are not field replaceable; the entire fan tray must be replaced in the
event of a major fan tray failure. See Removing the Fan Tray, on page 73 for additional information about
the fan.

You can use the switch LEDs to monitor switch activity and performance. You can also monitor the status of
each port on the fixed slot port card, the fan tray assembly, and the power supplies.

Safety Warnings
Safety warnings appear throughout this publication in procedures that might harm you if performed incorrectly.
The warnings below are general warnings that are applicable to the entire publication.
CHAPTER 2
Warning
Warning
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
Statement 1030
This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area can be accessed
only through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security. Statement 1017
Read the installation instructions before connecting the system to the power source. Statement 1004Warning
Site Requirements
Planning a proper location for the switch and layout of the equipment rack or wiring closet is essential for
successful system operation. These sections describe some of the basic site requirements that you should be
aware of as you prepare to install your switch, including the following:
Environmental factors can adversely affect the performance and longevity of your system.

Temperature
Preparing for Installation
Install the switch in an enclosed, secure area, ensuring that only qualified personnel have access to the
•
switch and control of the environment.
Equipment that is placed too closely together or that is inadequately ventilated may cause system
•
over-temperature conditions, leading to premature component failure.
Poor equipment placement can make chassis panels inaccessible and difficult to maintain.
•
The switch requires a dry, clean, well-ventilated, and air-conditioned environment.
•
To ensure normal operation, maintain ambient airflow. If the airflow is blocked or restricted, or if the
•
intake air is too warm, an over-temperature condition may occur. The switch environmental monitor
may then shut down the system to protect the system components.
Multiple switches can be rack mounted with little or no clearance above and below the chassis. However,
•
when mounting a switch in a rack with other equipment, or when placing it on the floor near other
equipment, ensure that the exhaust from other equipment does not blow into the air intake vent of the
switch chassis.
Temperature
Temperature extremes may cause a system to operate at reduced efficiency and cause a variety of problems,
including premature aging and failure of chips, and failure of mechanical devices. Extreme temperature
fluctuations may also cause chips to become loose in their sockets. Observe the following guidelines:
Ensure that the system is operating in an environment no colder than 32°F (0°C) or no hotter than 104°F
•
(40°C).
Ensure that the chassis has adequate ventilation.
•
Do not place the chassis within a closed-in wall unit or on top of cloth, which can act as insulation.
•
Do not place the chassis where it will receive direct sunlight, particularly in the afternoon.
•
Do not place the chassis next to a heat source of any kind, including heating vents.
•
Adequate ventilation is particularly important at high altitudes. Make sure that all the slots and openings
•
on the system remain unobstructed, especially the fan vent on the chassis.
Clean the installation site at regular intervals to avoid buildup of dust and debris, which may cause a
•
system to overheat.
If the system has been exposed to abnormally cold temperatures, allow a 2-hour warm-up period to bring
•
it to normal operating temperature before turning it on.
Failure to observe these guidelines may damage the chassis' internal components.
Note
The Catalyst 6880-X switches are equipped with internal air temperature sensors that trigger a minor alarm
at 104°F (40°C) and trigger a major alarm at 131°F (55°C).
