Removing and Replacing Port Adapters

Removing and Replacing Port Adapters

Follow the procedures in this section to remove and replace the port adapters on the CMM:

•Removing a Port Adapter from Module Slots 1 through 3, page 19

•Installing a Port Adapter in Module Slots 1 through 3, page 22

•Installing and Removing an Ad-Hoc Conferencing and Transcoding Port Adapter in Slot 4, page 23

Removing a Port Adapter from Module Slots 1 through 3

Note When you face the module front panel, slot 1 is on the left, slot 2 is in the middle, and slot 3 is on the right. Slot 4 is located internally. (See Figure 13.)

To remove a port adapter, perform these steps:

Warning Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when servicing. Statement 1034

Step 1 Remove the module from the Catalyst 6500 series switch or the Cisco 7600 series router; see the “Removing the Module” section on page 17.

Step 2 Carefully place the module, component-side down, on an antistatic mat or foam pad with the front of the module facing toward you. (See Figure 11.)

Step 3 Remove the two Phillips screws securing the port adapter. (See Figure 11.)

Step 4 Carefully turn the module component-side up and place it on the antistatic mat or foam pad.

Step 5 Remove the two standoffs and the two remaining Phillips screws securing the port adapter. (See Figure 12.)

Step 6 Note the location of the two connectors in Figure 13 and remove the port adapter, taking care when lifting up and disconnecting the port adapter from the connectors.

Tip To unseat the port adapter from the two connectors, grasp the rear of the port adapter with one hand, and gently but firmly pull up on the rear of the port adapter until it is free of the connectors.

Step 7 Place the removed port adapter in an antistatic bag.

Step 8 If leaving an empty slot, install a blank filler plate.

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.
