Installing and Removing the Module

To remove a module from the chassis, perform these steps:

Step 1 Disconnect any network interface cables that are attached to the module.

Step 2 Verify that the captive installation screws on all of the modules in the chassis are tight.

This step assures that the space that is created by the removed module is maintained.

Note If the captive installation screws are loose, the electromagnetic interference (EMI) gaskets on the installed modules will push the modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to install the replacement module.

Step 3 Loosen the two captive installation screws on the module.

Step 4 Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the following sets of substeps:

Horizontal slots

a.Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers, and simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the module from the backplane connector.

b.Grasp the front edge of the module, and slide the module part of the way out of the slot. Place your other hand under the module to support the weight of the module. Do not touch the module circuitry.

Vertical slots

a.Place your thumbs on the ejector levers that are located at the top and bottom of the module, and simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the module from the backplane connector.

b.Grasp the edges of the module, and slide the module straight out of the slot. Do not touch the module circuitry.

Step 5 Place the module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or immediately reinstall it in another slot.

Step 6 If the slot from which you removed the module is to remain empty, install a module filler plate to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper airflow through the chassis.

Warning 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. Statement 1029

6513-E, 6500-E, WS-C6513-E-RF specifications

Cisco Systems is renowned for its networking and telecommunications equipment, and its Catalyst 6500-E series, including models like the 6513-E and WS-C6513-E-RF, exemplifies cutting-edge technology in enterprise networking. The Catalyst 6500-E series switches are versatile, high-performance devices designed to meet the demands of large enterprises and data centers.

The Cisco Catalyst 6513-E switch is a modular chassis that supports a variety of interface modules and line cards, allowing sleek customization and scalability to accommodate growing networks. The 6513-E features a 13-slot architecture, allowing for up to 11 modules, plus a dedicated supervisor engine for enhanced performance and reliability. This switch can support a mix of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, providing great flexibility depending on network requirements.

One of the hallmark technologies of the 6500-E series is Cisco's Virtual Switching System (VSS), which enables two physical switches to operate as a single logical switch. This feature significantly enhances redundancy and improves manageability by allowing network administrators to treat multiple devices as one. The series supports sophisticated features such as Cisco's Enhanced Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities, which enable fine-tuned traffic management to prioritize critical applications and ensure optimal performance throughout the network.

Security is a paramount concern for enterprise environments, and the 6500-E series incorporates robust security features through Cisco's TrustSec technology. This function allows for the creation of secure segments within the network, improving protection against potential threats. Additionally, the switches support advanced authentication features like 802.1X, enabling secure device access.

The WS-C6513-E-RF model, which stands for “Refurbished,” offers an economical option without sacrificing the performance and reliability inherent in the series. These switches are particularly appealing to budget-conscious organizations that still need the advanced features of Cisco products.

Overall, the Cisco Systems Catalyst 6500-E series is a cornerstone for enterprise networking. With its modular design, VSS capabilities, advanced QoS features, and comprehensive security measures, it remains an ideal solution for organizations looking to build a scalable and secure network infrastructure. Its versatility through the WS-C6513-E-RF variant allows businesses of all sizes to leverage high-performance networking without a heavy financial burden. As networking demands evolve, the Catalyst 6500-E series continues to be a key player in delivering reliable and efficient networking solutions.
