Feature	Descriptions
Supervisor engines	• Supports Supervisor Engine 2, Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor
	Engine 32 PISA, Supervisor Engine 720, and Supervisor
	Engine 720-10GE.
	– Supervisor Engine 2 is installed in slot 1 or slot 2.
	– Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor Engine 32 PISA, Supervisor
	Engine 720, and Supervisor Engine 720-10GE are installed in slot 5
	or slot 6.
	– Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor Engine 32 PISA, Supervisor
	Engine 720, and Supervisor Engine 720-10GE all require the
	high-speed fan tray (WS-C6K-6SLOT-FAN2) be installed in the
	chassis. You must also install a 2500 W or higher capacity power
	supply in the chassis to power the high-speed fan tray.
	Note The 2500 W power supply, when supporting the high-speed fan tray,
	can be powered from either 120 VAC or 220 VAC.
	– Supervisor Engine 720 and Supervisor Engine 720-10GE have
	built-in switching fabric. Switch Fabric Modules (WS-C6500-SFM
	and WS-X6500-SFM2) are not supported by Supervisor Engine 720
	and Supervisor Engine 720-10GE and cannot be installed in the
	same chassis.
	– Supervisor Engine 32 and Supervisor Engine 32 PISA do not
	support the Switch Fabric Modules (WS-C6500-SFM and
	WS-X6500-SFM2).
	• The uplink ports are fully functional on the redundant supervisor engine
	in standby mode.
	Note In systems with redundant supervisor engines, both supervisor
	engines must be the same model and have the same daughter card
	configurations. Each supervisor engine must have the resources to
	run the switch on its own, which means all supervisor engine
	resources are duplicated. Identical supervisor engine memory
	configurations are recommended, but are not required as long as the
	supervisor engine with the smaller memory configuration is
	sufficient to run the configured features of the switch. Additionally,
	each supervisor engine must have its own flash device and console
	port connections.
