This publication contains the procedures for installing the Distributed Forwarding Card 3 (DFC3) on
Ethernet modules. The three versions of the DFC daughter card: DFC3A, DFC3B, or DFC3BXL can be
installed on the following Catalyst 6500 series modules:
• WS-X6704-10GE
• WS-X6724-SFP
• WS-X6748-SFP
• WS-X6748-GE-TX
NoteThroughout this publication, unless otherwise noted, the term DFC3 daughter card refers to the DFC3A,
DFC3B, and DFC3BXL daughter cards.
CautionSome WS-X6748-GE-TX Ethernet modules are equipped with a stiffener bracket that extends across the
top of the front row of chips on the module. Alternate procedures are provided in this document that
cover the removal and the replacement of the DFC daughter card on modules equipped with the stiffener
bracket. You must follow these alternate procedures when upgrading a WS-X6748-GE-TX equipped
with a stiffener bracket; otherwise, you can seriously damage the DFC daughter card.

Removing a CFC or DFC Daughter Card
These tools and supplies are required to remove and install the DFC3 daughter card:
• Antistatic mat or foam pad to support the removed module and an antistatic bag to store the removed
Central Forwarding Card (CFC) or DFC daughter card
• Your own ESD-prevention equipment or the disposable grounding wrist strap included in the
upgrade kit
• Number 1 Phillips-head screwdriver for the DFC daughter card installation hardware
Removing a CFC or DFC Daughter Card
If your module has either a CFC or a DFC daughter card installed, you must remove the daughter card
before installing the new DFC daughter card. Two procedures are provided: See either the “Removing
the CFC Daughter Card” section on page 10 or “Removing the DFC3 Daughter Card from Modules
Without Stiffener Brackets” section on page 13.
Removing the CFC Daughter Card
To remove a CFC daughter card, follow these steps:

To unseat the CFC daughter card from the Ethernet module, hold each tab at the rear of the CFC daughter
card between your thumb and index finger, and gently press down on both tabs until the connectors are
unseated. (See Figure 2.)
CautionDo not apply too much pressure on the tabs. Applying too much pressure on the tabs can cause damage
to the module.

Removing the DFC3 Daughter Card
This section contains two DFC3 daughter card removal procedures. One procedure covers how to remove
the DFC3 daughter card from modules that are not equipped with a stiffener bracket. A second procedure
is included that covers how to remove the DFC daughter card from early versions of the
WS-X6748-GE-TX Ethernet module that are equipped with a stiffener bracket.
NoteOnly the WS-X6748-GE-TX Ethernet module might be equipped with a stiffener bracket.

Removing the DFC3 Daughter Card from Modules Without Stiffener Brackets
To remove the DFC3 daughter card from modules that are not equipped with a stiffener bracket, follow
these steps:
Warning
During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly
touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
Statement 94
Step 1Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground. (If you are unsure about the correct way to
attach an ESD grounding strap, refer tothe “Attaching Your ESD Grounding Strap” section on page 40
for instructions.)
Step 2Remove the Ethernet module from the Catalyst 6500 series switch. (If you are unsure about the correct
procedure for removing a module from the switch chassis, refer to the “Removing and Installing
Modules in the Chassis” section on page 32 for removal instructions.)
Step 3Place the Ethernet module on an antistatic mat with the front of the module facing toward you.
Step 4If your DFC daughter card has a small metal installation bracket as shown in Figure 3, use a No.1
Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two cap nuts and the one screw securing the bracket. Set them
aside with the bracket. If there is no bracket, just remove the two cap nuts and the one screw.
Step 5Remove the remaining securing screws. (See Figure 3.)

Removing the DFC3 Daughter Card
Step 6Partially reinstall the cap nut, as shown in Figure 4, about 3 turns so that there is a space of about 1/8
inch (3 mm) between the bottom of the cap nut and the top of the DFC3 daughter card. The cap nut acts
as a stop when you unseat the daughter card connector so that the DFC3 daughter card does not move
horizontally and cause damage to the base board.

Step 7With your left hand, lift slightly at the location shown in Figure 5. While lifting with your left hand, rock
the DFC3 daughter card up and down with your right hand, no more than half an inch in either direction,
to unseat the DFC3 daughter card from the module.
