Installing and Removing the NAM
This section describes how to install and verify the operation of the NAM in the Catalyst6000 family
switches and contains the following sections:
•Slot Assignments, page 10
•Verifying the Installation, page14
•Removing the NAM, page15
Slot Assignments
The Catalyst 6006 and 6506 switch chassis have six slots, the Catalyst 6009 and 6509 switch chassis
have nine slots, and the Catalyst 6513 switch chassis has thirteen slots. (See Figure 2.)
Note The Catalyst 6509-NEB switch has vertical slots numbered 1 to 9 from right to left. Install the
modules with the component side facing to the right.
•Slot 1 is reserved for the supervisor engine.
•Slot 2 can contain an additional redundant supervisor engine in case the supervisor engine in slot 1
fails.
•If a redundant supervisor engine is not required, slots 2 through 6 on the 6-slot chassis, (slots 2
through 9 on the 9-slot chassis and slots 2 through 13 on the 13-slot chassis) are available for
switching modules, such as the NAM.
•Install switching-module filler plates, which are blank switching-module carriers, in the empty slots
to maintain consistent airflow through the switch chassis.
