System Requirements

Hardware Supported

Before you can use the CSM, you must have a Supervisor Engine 1A with an MSFC and a Policy Feature Card (PFC), or a Supervisor Engine 2 with an MSFC, and any module with ports to connect server and client networks. The PFC is required for the VLAN access control list (VACL) capture functionality.

Caution The WS-X6066-SLB-APC Content Switching Module is not fabric enabled.

Environmental Requirements

The CSM operates in temperatures from 0o to 40o C (32o to 104o F). The module can withstand, without damage, nonoperating temperatures from –40oto 70o C (–40oto 158o F).

The CSM can operate in relative humidity from 10 to 90 percent (noncondensing) and can withstand, without damage, nonoperating relative humidity of 5 to 95 percent (noncondensing).

Power Requirements

You can place the CSM in any slot in the Catalyst 6000 family chassis except for the slots occupied by the supervisor engine and the standby supervisor engine. The CSM operates on power supplied by the chassis.

Note Slot 1 is reserved for the supervisor engine. Slot 2 can contain an additional supervisor engine in case the supervisor engine in slot 1 fails. If a redundant supervisor engine is not required, you can insert the CSM in slots 2 through 6 on the 6-slot chassis, in slots 2 through 9 on a 9-slot chassis, or slots 2 through 13 on the 13-slot chassis.
