System Requirements

CONSOLE Ports

The CONSOLE ports allow you to access each controller either locally (with a console terminal) or remotely (with a modem). The CONSOLE ports are EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous, serial connections with hardware flow control and RJ-45 connectors.

System Requirements

These sections describe the hardware and software requirements:

Hardware Components

The Catalyst 6500 series or Cisco 7609 or 7613 chassis in which the Cisco WiSM is installed requires a Supervisor 720 module. The supported slots for the Cisco WiSM are listed in Table 2.

Power Requirements

The Cisco WiSM module requires 254W for operation. Make sure that your chassis can provide this power.

Note All Catalyst 6500 chassis (except the Catalyst 6503) require the fan tray 2 module, which requires the 2500W power supply for proper operation. For planning purposes, be aware that the 2500Wt power supply requires a 20A input power circuit with a NEMA plug.

You can use the show power command to view power details for your installation, including the system power available and power statistics for installed power supplies and cards.
