Chapter 1 Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Chassis Overview

Catalyst 6513-E

•Supervisor Engine 32 and Supervisor Engine 32 PISA do not support the Switch Fabric Modules (WS-C6500-SFM and WS-X6500-SFM2). The Switch Fabric Modules and Supervisor Engine 32 or Supervisor Engine 32 PISA cannot be installed in the same chassis.

•The uplink ports are fully functional on all redundant supervisor engine models when they are 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.

Catalyst 6513-E

The Catalyst 6513-E switch is a 13-slot (numbered from (1) top to (13) bottom), 20 RU, horizontal chassis enhanced version of the Catalyst 6513 switch that supports redundant power supplies and redundant supervisor engines. It also supports a greater power capacity per slot than the Catalyst 6513 switch chassis and supports the WS-X67xx and WS-X68xx switching modules. The chassis is NEBS L3 compliant. Supervisor engine support and restrictions for the Catalyst 6513-E includes:

•Supports Supervisor Engine 2, Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor Engine 32 PISA, Supervisor Engine 720, Supervisor Engine 720-10GE, and Supervisor Engine 2T.

Note Refer to your software release notes for specific information on the minimum software release versions required to support the supervisor engines in the Catalyst 6513-E chassis.

•Supervisor Engine 2 must be installed in slot 1 or slot 2.

•Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor Engine 32 PISA, Supervisor Engine 720, Supervisor Engine 720-10GE, and Supervisor Engine 2T must be installed in slot 7 or slot 8.

Note Slots not occupied by supervisor engines can be used for modules. Check your software release notes for any restrictions on the type of module that can be installed.

•Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor Engine 32 PISA, Supervisor Engine 720, Supervisor Engine 720-10GE, and Supervisor Engine 2T require additional cooling. You must install the high-speed fan tray (WS-C6K-13SLT-FAN2) when using any of these supervisor engines. You must also install a 2500 W or higher capacity power supply in the chassis to power the high-speed fan tray.

•Supervisor Engine 720, Supervisor Engine 720-10GE, and Supervisor Engine 2T have a built-in switching fabric. Switch Fabric Modules (WS-C6500-SFM and WS-X6500-SFM2) are not supported.
