Table 2-60 WS-X6716-10T and WS-X6816-10T-2T/-2TXL Ethernet Module Features (continued)

Feature	Description
Chassis/slot restrictions	• Not supported in the Catalyst 6503 chassis or the
		Catalyst 6509-NEB chassis
	• Supported only in slots 9–13 in the Catalyst 6513 chassis and does
		not power up in slots 1–8.
	•	When the WS-X6716-10T module is installed in a Catalyst 6500-E
		series chassis or a Catalyst 6509-NEB-A chassis, the configuration
		is NEBS 3 compliant (chassis supports operating temperatures up
		to 55°C).
	• When the WS-X6716-10T module is installed in a Catalyst 6500
		non-E series chassis that is equipped with a fan tray 2 and a
		2500 W or larger power supply, the configuration is not NEBS 3
		compliant (chassis supports operating temperatures up to 40°C
		only).
	• Support in the Catalyst 6509-NEB-A chassis requires two
		FAN-MOD-09 fan trays be installed.
	• The WS-X6816-10T-2T/-2TXL Ethernet module is only supported
		on the Catalyst 6500 E-series switches equipped with Supervisor
		Engine 2T.
	• Requires that modules be installed in adjacent slots or, if either
		adjacent slot is unused, you must install a switching-module filler
		plate (Cisco part numbers WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E or
		SLOTBLANK-09) rather than a blank slot cover
		(WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR) to maintain an adequate air flow through
		the chassis.
Fabric connection	•	Dual switch-fabric connections:
		– Fabric channel 1: Ports 1–8
		– Fabric channel 2: Ports 9–16
Fabric channel speed	20 Gb/sec (40Gb/sec total)
