Catalyst 6500 Series PFC3B and PFC3BXL
Installation Note
Product number: WS-F6K-PFC3B=, WS-F6K-PFC3BXL=
This publication describes how to install the Catalyst 6500 Series Policy Feature Card 3B (PFC3B) or
PFC3BXL on a Supervisor Engine 720.
Note To use the PFC3BXL, you must also upgrade the switch processor (SP) and route processor (RP)
memory on the Supervisor Engine 720 to 1 GB each using the included DRAM DIMMs. For information
on upgrading the memory on the Supervisor Engine 720, refer to the Supervisor Engine 720 Switch
Processor and Route Processor Memory Installation Note at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat6000/cfgnotes/78_15538.htm
The Supervisor Engine 720 memory upgrade (MEM-MSFC2-1GB=) is an option when using the
PFC3B.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you
work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar
with standard practices for preventing accidents. Use the statement number provided at the end of
each warning to locate its translation in the translated safety warnings that accompanied this
device.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.

Parts List
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)
that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not
operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
1029
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
These parts are in the WS-F6K-PFC3B= or WS-F6K-PFC3BXL= kit:
• One Catalyst 6500 series PFC3B or PFC3BXL
• One packet of labels
• One disposable grounding wrist strap
• One bag of mounting screws
• Two 1-GB DRAM DIMMs (to be installed on the Supervisor Engine 720 switch processor and
route processor) — PFC3BXL only
Statement
Required Tools
Note In this section, the term "PFC3B" refers to the PFC3B and PFC3BXL unless otherwise noted.
These tools are required to perform the installation of the PFC3B:
• Antistatic mat or foam pad to support the removed Supervisor Engine 720
• 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver for the captive installation screws on the Supervisor Engine 720
• Number 1 Phillips screwdriver for the screws and cap nut that fasten the PFC3B to the
Supervisor Engine 720
• Your own ESD-prevention equipment or the disposable grounding wrist strap included with all
upgrade kits, field-replaceable units (FRUs), and spares

Installation Guidelines
Installation Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when installing a PFC3B or PFC3BXL on a Supervisor Engine 720:
• If you have redundant Supervisor Engine 720s, the hardware on both supervisor engines must be
identical. You cannot have a mix of PFC3A, PFC3B, or PFC3BXL in the same chassis. You must
shut down the switch to install the PFC3B or PFC3BXL, even if you have redundant supervisor
engines.
• If you have redundant Supervisor Engine 720s, you must install the PFC3B or PFC3BXL on each
Supervisor Engine 720.
• Observe the following cautions:
Caution Always use an ESD wrist strap when handling modules or coming into contact with internal
components.
Caution Use care not to damage the connectors on the supervisor engine. If you damage a connector,
you will have to return the supervisor engine to Cisco for repair.
Caution Ensure that the PFC3B or PFC3BXL is securely seated before you install and tighten the cap
nut and the securing screws. If you use the screws to seat the PFC3B or PFC3BXL, the card
might warp.
Caution Yo u must install all screws. The screws provide grounding between the PFC3B or PFC3BXL
and the supervisor engine. Failure to install all screws will invalidate the safety approvals and
can cause fire and electrical hazards.
Caution The hardware on both supervisor engines in a single chassis must be identical. If you have
redundant supervisor engines, you must install a PFC3B or PFC3BXL on each Supervisor
Engine 720.

Preparing the Supervisor Engine 720
Note In this section, the term "PFC3B" refers to the PFC3B and PFC3BXL unless otherwise noted.
To install the PFC3B on a Supervisor Engine 720, you must shut down the switch, remove the Supervisor
Engine 720 from the chassis, and remove the PFC3A from the Supervisor Engine 720.
Caution Always use an ESD wrist strap when handling modules or coming into contact with internal components.
Before you remove a supervisor engine, you should first upload the current configuration to a server.
This saves time when bringing the module back online. You can recover the configuration by
downloading it from the server to the nonvolatile memory of the supervisor engine. For more
information, refer to Chapter 26, “Working with Configuration Files,” in the Catalyst 6500 Series
Software Configuration Guide.
To prepare the Supervisor Engine 720 for the PFC3B, follow these steps:
Preparing the Supervisor Engine 720
Step 1 Upload the current configuration to a server. On any modules running Cisco IOS software, save the
running configuration.
Step 2 Shut down the switch.
Step 3 Remove the Supervisor Engine 720 from the Catalyst 6500 series switch. (Refer to the Catalyst 6500
Series Switch Module Installation Guide for removal instructions.)
Step 4 Place the Supervisor Engine 720 on an antistatic mat or foam.
Removing the PFC3A from the Supervisor Engine 720
To remove the PFC3A from the Supervisor Engine 720, follow these steps:
Step 1 Remove the nine securing screws and two cap nuts. (See Figure 1.)
Note Set the removed screws and cap nuts aside. Use the supplied screws and cap nuts when securing the
PFC3B or PFC3BXL to the Supervisor Engine 720.

Caution Use care not to damage the connectors on the supervisor engine. If you damage a connector, you will
have to return the supervisor engine to Cisco for repair.
Step 2 Hold the right edge of the PFC3A with your right hand and the rear left corner with your left hand.
(See Figure 2.) Gently lift the PFC3A with both hands simultaneously and remove the PFC3A from
the Supervisor Engine 720.
