Environmental

 

Temperature, operating

Certified for operation: 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C)

 

Designed and tested for operation: 32° to 130°F (0° to 55°C)

 

Note The Catalyst 6500 series switches are equipped with internal air

 

temperature sensors that are triggered at 104°F (40°C) generating a

 

minor alarm and at 131°F (55°C) generating a major alarm.

Certified for operation: 0 to 6500 feet (0 to 2000 m)

 

Designed and tested for operation: –200 to 10,000 feet (–60 to 3000 m)

 

 

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: 27 lb (12.25 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

FAN-MOD-3 (standard fan tray)—170 CFM

 

FAN-MOD-3HS (optional high-speed fan tray)—270 CFM

 

Note To maintain proper air circulation through the Catalyst switch

 

chassis, we recommend that you maintain a minimum 6-inch (15 cm)

 

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.
