Physical Characteristics
Dimensions (H x W x D)	• 7 x 17.37 x 21.75 in. (17.78 x 44.12 x 55.25 cm).
	• Chassis requires 4 RU.
	• Chassis can be mounted in equipment racks that meet ANSI/EIA 310-D
	and ETS 300-119 standards.
Weight	• Chassis only: 33 lb (15 kg).
	• Chassis fully configured with 1 supervisor engine, 2 modules,
	2 AC-input PEMs, and 2 AC-input power supplies: 85.4 lb (38.7 kg).
Airflow	WS-C6503-E-FAN—282 CFM
	Note To maintain proper air circulation through the Catalyst switch
	chassis, we recommend that you maintain a minimum 15 cm (6-inch)
	separation between a wall and the chassis air intake or a wall and the
	chassis air exhaust. You should also allow a minimum separation of
	12 inches (30.5 cm) between the hot air exhaust on one chassis and
	the air intake on another chassis. Failure to maintain adequate air
	space can cause the chassis to overheat and the system to fail. On
	Catalyst chassis in which the airflow is from front to back, the
	chassis may be placed side-by-side.
