Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Chassis Overview
Revised: July 2011
This chapter provides a brief overview of the Catalyst 6500 series switches. For details on the individual
Catalyst 6500 series chassis, see the information listed on this page:
Note
Throughout this publication, except where noted, the term supervisor engine is used to refer to
Supervisor Engine 2, Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor Engine 32 PISA, Supervisor Engine 720,
Supervisor Engine 720-10GE, and the Supervisor Engine 2T.
Catalyst 6503 Switch
The Catalyst 6503 switch is a 3-slot (numbered from (1) top to (3) bottom), 4 RU, horizontal chassis that
supports redundant power supplies and redundant supervisor engines. The chassis is NEBS L3
compliant. Supervisor engine support includes:
•
Supervisor Engine 2, Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor Engine 32 PISA, and Supervisor
Engine 720 are supported.
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 6503 chassis.
•
Supervisor engines must be installed in chassis slot 1 or slot 2.
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.
•
•

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 that 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.

RESET switch
The RESET switch allows you to reset and restart the switch.
Note
Because the reset switch is recessed in the faceplate, you must use a
ballpoint pen tip or other small, pointed object to access the switch.
CONSOLE port
This is a 10/100/1000 port that uses an RJ-45 connector. The CONSOLE port
allows you to access the switch either locally (with a console terminal) or
remotely (with a modem). The CONSOLE port is an EIA/TIA-232
asynchronous, serial connection with hardware flow control.
DISK 0 and DISK 1 slot and Two PCMCIA slots are available. The PCMCIA slots allow a Flash PC card
LEDs
to be installed providing additional flash memory. You can use this flash
memory to store and run software images or to serve as an I/O device. An
eject button is located on the left side, next to each slot. Pushing in on the
button ejects the Flash PC card from the slot. The slot supports 64, 128, 256,
512 MB, and 1 GB Flash PC cards.
Each PCMCIA slot has an LED associated with it.

Note
If you are installing a Supervisor Engine 2T in your chassis, the slots directly adjacent (above
and below in horizontal chassis or to the left and to the right in vertical chassis) to the supervisor
engine must contain either a redundant Supervisor Engine 2T, line cards or switching-module
filler plates (Cisco part numbers WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E or SLOTBLANK-09). If either slot is
going to remain unused and currently has a blank slot cover (Cisco part number
WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR) installed, you must remove the blank slot cover and replace it with a
switching-module filler plate for NEBS compliance.
Note
The primary supervisor engine in a redundant supervisor engine configuration, or a single
supervisor engine configuration can be installed in either of the two slots.
Step 3
Step 4
Visually verify that there is enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment, such as
pluggable transceivers, that you will install directly to the supervisor engine uplink ports.
If you are installing a Supervisor Engine 2T, verify that the two slots adjacent to the slot you are going
to install the supervisor engine contain either another Supervisor Engine 2T, a module, or, if the slot is
unused, a switching-module filler plate (Cisco part numbers WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E or
SLOTBLANK-09).
Step 5
Verify that the captive installation screws are tightened on all modules installed in the chassis.

Installing a Supervisor Engine
Note
This action assures that the EMI gaskets on all of the modules are fully compressed in order to
maximize the opening space for the new or replacement supervisor engine. If the captive
installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules expand pushing adjacent
modules toward the empty slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to install the
supervisor engine.
Step 6
If necessary, remove the blank slot cover or the switching-module filler plate covering the selected slot
by removing the two Phillips pan-head screws. Set them aside for future use.
Note
If you must remove an existing supervisor engine, refer to “Removing a Supervisor Engine”
Step 7
Remove the new supervisor engine from its shipping packaging and from the antistatic shipping bag.
Caution
To prevent ESD damage, handle supervisor engines by the carrier edges or the bottom only. Do not touch
the circuitry.

Removing a Supervisor Engine
Removing a Supervisor Engine
This section describes how to remove a supervisor engine from the Catalyst 6500 series switch chassis.
Caution
During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the module.
Warning
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into
beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051
Before you remove a supervisor engine, you should first upload the current configuration to a server.
This step saves time when bringing the module back online. You can recover the configuration by
downloading it from the server to the nonvolatile memory of the supervisor engine. For more
information, refer to Chapter 27, “Working with Configuration Files,” in the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch
Software Configuration Guide or in Chapter 4, Chapter 5, and Chapter 6 in the Catalyst 6500 Series
Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide.
To remove a module from the chassis, follow these steps:
Step 1
Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to the ESD ground connector on the chassis or to a
properly grounded bare metal surface.
Note
If you are unsure about the correct way to attach an ESD grounding strap, see the “Attaching
Step 2
Step 3
Disconnect any network interface cables attached to the module.
Verify that the captive installation screws on all of the modules in the chassis are tight.
Note
This step ensures that the space created by the removed module is maintained. If the captive
installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push the modules
toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to remove the module.
Step 4
Step 5
Loosen the two captive screws on the module. Make sure that the two captive screws are completely
unscrewed from the chassis.
Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the
following two sets of steps:
Horizontal slots
a. Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers and simultaneously rotate the levers outward
b. Grasp the front edge of the module and slide the module part of the way out of the slot. Place your
other hand under the module to support the weight of the module. Do not touch the module circuitry.

Step 7
Place the removed module on an antistatic mat or in an antistatic bag, or immediately reinstall it in
another slot.
If the slot is to remain empty, install a module filler plate to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain
proper airflow through the chassis. If a Supervisor Engine 2T or a WS-X6908-10G module is installed,
the slots adjacent to either the supervisor engine or the module must have switching-module filler plates
installed (Cisco part numbers WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E or SLOTBLANK-09). Do not install blank slot
covers (WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR).
Warning
Warning
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)
that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not
operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement
1029

mode-conditioning patch cord prevents overdriving the receiver.
•
Link distances greater than 984 feet (300 m), where it reduces
differential mode delay.
SFP LX/LH
When using the LX/LH SFP transceiver with 62.5-micron diameter
MMF, you must also install a mode-conditioning patch cord
(CAB-GELX-625 or equivalent) between the SFP transceiver and the
MMF cable on both the sending and receiving ends of the link. The
mode-conditioning patch cord is required for:
(GLC-LH-SM=)
•
Link distances less than 328 feet (100 m), where it prevents
overdriving the receiver.
•
Link distances greater than 984 feet (300 m), where it reduces
differential mode delay.
XENPAK LX4
The Cisco XENPAK-10GB-LX4 transceiver supports link lengths of
984 feet (300 meters) on standard FDDI grade MMF. To ensure that

XENPAK LRM
The Cisco XENPAK-10GB-LRM transceiver supports link lengths of
722 feet (220 m) on standard Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)
grade multimode fiber (MMF). To ensure that specifications are met
over FDDI-grade, OM1 and OM2 fibers, the transmitter should be
coupled through a mode conditioning patch cord. Cisco offers two
mode conditioning patch cords: CAB-GELX-625= (mode conditioning
patch cable 62.5 microns, dual SC connectors) and CAB-MCP50-SC=
(mode conditioning patch cable 50 microns, dual SC connectors). No
mode conditioning patch cord is required for applications over OM3
fiber.

220 meters on standard Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) grade
multimode fiber (MMF). To ensure that specifications are met over
FDDI-grade, OM1 and OM2 fibers, the transmitter should be coupled
through a mode conditioning patch cord. Cisco offers two mode
conditioning patch cords: CAB-GELX-625= (mode conditioning patch
cable 62.5 microns, dual SC connectors) and CAB-MCP50-SC= (mode
conditioning patch cable 50 microns, dual SC connectors). No mode
conditioning patch cord is required for applications over OM3.
(X2-10GB-LRM)
X2 LX4
The Cisco X2-10GB-LX4 transceiver supports link lengths of
300 meters on standard FDDI grade MMF. To ensure that specifications
are met, the transmitter output should be coupled through a mode
conditioning patch cord. Cisco offers two mode conditioning patch
cords: CAB-GELX-625= (mode conditioning patch cable
(X2-10GB-LX4)
62.5 microns, dual SC connectors) and CAB-MCP50-SC= (mode
conditioning patch cable 50 microns, dual SC connectors).
When an unconditioned laser source designed for operation on single-mode optical fiber is directly
coupled to a multimode optical fiber cable, an effect known as differential mode delay (DMD) might
result in a degradation of the modal bandwidth of the optical fiber cable.
This degradation results in a decrease in the link span (the distance between a transmitter and a receiver)
that can be supported reliably. The effect of DMD can be overcome by conditioning the launch
characteristics of a laser source. A practical means of performing this conditioning is to use a device
called a mode-conditioning patch cord.

Attaching the Network Interface Cables
A mode-conditioning patch cord is an optical fiber cable assembly that consists of a pair of optical fibers
terminated with connector hardware. Specifically, the mode-conditioning patch cord is composed of a
single-mode optical fiber permanently coupled off-center (see Offset in Figure 3-7 and Figure 3-8) to a
mode-conditioning patch cord assembly.

Where to Go Next
The mode-conditioning patch cord assembly is composed of duplex optical fibers, including a
single-mode-to-multimode offset launch fiber connected to the transmitter, and a second conventional
graded-index multimode optical fiber connected to the receiver. The use of a plug-to-plug patch cord
maximizes the power budget of multimode 1000BASE-LX/LH links.
Note
The mode-conditioning patch cord is required to comply with IEEE standards. The IEEE found that link
distances could not be met with certain types of fiber-optic cable cores. The solution is to launch light
from the laser at a precise offset from the center, which is accomplished by using the mode-conditioning
patch cord. At the output end of the patch cord, the GBIC-LX/LH is compliant with the IEEE 802.3z
standard for 1000BASE-LX.
Connecting Transceivers to a Copper Network
Caution
To comply with GR-1089 intrabuilding lightning immunity requirements, you must use grounded,
shielded, twisted-pair Category 5 cabling.
To connect transceivers to a copper network, follow these steps:
Step 1
Insert the network cable RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 connector on the transceiver.
Note
When connecting to a 1000BASE-T-compatible switch or repeater, use four-twisted-pair,
crossover Category 5 cabling.
Step 2
Insert the other end of the network cable into an RJ-45 connector on a 1000BASE-T-compatible target
device.

Copper and Fiber-Optic Connectors
Caution
Caution
Category 5e, Category 6, and Category 6a cables can store high levels of static electricity because of the
dielectric properties of the materials used in their construction. Always ground the cables (especially in
new cable runs) to a suitable and safe earth ground before connecting them to the module.
To comply with GR-1089 intrabuilding, lightning-immunity requirements, you must use foil-twisted pair
(FTP) cable that is properly grounded at both ends.

Fiber-Optic Connectors
This section describes the SC and LC fiber-optic connectors used by the optical transceivers.
SC Connectors
Warning
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into
beams or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051
The SC connector is used to connect fiber-optic module ports with the external network. (See
Figure B-3
SC Optical Connector
Always make sure that you insert the connector completely into the socket. This action is especially
important when you are making a connection between a module and a long distance (1.24 miles
[2 kilometers]) or a suspected highly attenuated network. If the link LED does not light, try removing
the network cable plug and reinserting it firmly into the module socket. It is possible that enough dirt or
skin oils have accumulated on the plug faceplate (around the optical-fiber openings) to generate
significant attenuation, reducing the optical power levels below threshold levels so that a link cannot be
made.

Caution
Use extreme care when removing or installing connectors so that you do not damage the connector
housing or scratch the end-face surface of the fiber. Always install protective covers on unused or
disconnected components to prevent contamination. Always clean fiber connectors before installing
them.
When you disconnect the fiber-optic cable from the module, grip the body of the connector. Do not grip
the connector jacket-sleeve. Gripping the sleeve can, over time, compromise the integrity of the
fiber-optic cable termination in the SC connector.

ESD Precautions
Revised July 2011
This appendix provides information on preventing ESD when removing and installing supervisor
engines in a chassis.
Attaching Your ESD Grounding Strap
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when modules or other FRUs are improperly
handled, results in intermittent or complete failures. Supervisor engines consist of printed circuit boards
that are supported by metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are
integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the board from ESD,
always use an ESD grounding strap when handling supervisor engines.
For preventing ESD damage, follow these guidelines:
•
Always use an ESD wrist strap and ensure that it makes maximum contact with bare skin. ESD
grounding straps are available with banana plugs, metal spring clips, or alligator clips. All
Catalyst 6500 series chassis are equipped with a banana plug connector (identified by the ground
symbol next to the connector) somewhere on the front panel.
–
If you have an older Catalyst 6500 series chassis equipped with a plastic banana plug connector,
we recommend that you use either the supplied ESD grounding wrist strap (with a metal clip)
or an ESD grounding wrist strap equipped with an alligator clip.
–
If you have a newer Catalyst 6500 series chassis that has a bare metal hole as the banana plug
connector (also identified by the ground symbol next to the connector), we recommend that you
use a personal ESD grounding strap equipped with a banana plug.
•
•
If you choose to use the disposable ESD wrist strap supplied with most FRUs or an ESD wrist strap
equipped with an alligator clip, you must attach the system ground lug to the chassis in order to
provide a proper grounding point for the ESD wrist strap.
Note
This system ground is also referred to as the network equipment building system (NEBS)
ground.
If your chassis does not have the system ground attached, you must install the system ground lug.
Refer to the online Catalyst 6500 Series Switches Installation Guide for the procedure.

Appendix C ESD Precautions
Attaching Your ESD Grounding Strap
Note
You do not need to attach a supplemental system ground wire to the system ground lug; the
lug provides a direct path to the bare metal of the chassis
After you install the system ground lug, follow these steps to correctly attach the ESD wrist strap:
Step 1
Attach the ESD wrist strap to bare skin as follows:
a. If you are using the ESD wrist strap supplied with the FRUs, open the wrist strap package and
unwrap the ESD wrist strap. Place the black conductive loop over your wrist and tighten the strap
so that it makes good contact with your bare skin.
b. If you are using an ESD wrist strap equipped with an alligator clip, open the package and remove
the ESD wrist strap. Locate the end of the wrist strap that attaches to your body and secure it to your
bare skin.
Step 2
Step 3
Grasp the spring or alligator clip on the ESD wrist strap and momentarily touch the clip to a bare metal
spot (unpainted surface) on the rack.
We recommend that you touch the clip to an unpainted rack rail so that any built-up static charge is then
safely dissipated to the entire rack.
Attach either the spring clip or the alligator clip to the ground lug screw as follows (See Figure C-1):
a. If you are using the ESD wrist strap that is supplied with the FRUs, squeeze the spring clip jaws
open, position the spring clip to one side of the system ground lug screw head, and slide the spring
clip over the lug screw head so that the spring clip jaws close behind the lug screw head.
Note
The spring clip jaws do not open wide enough to fit directly over the head of the lug screw
or the lug barrel.
b. If you are using an ESD wrist strap that is equipped with an alligator clip, attach the alligator clip
directly over the head of the system ground lug screw or to the system ground lug barrel.

In addition, follow these guidelines when handling modules:
•
Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or
connectors.
•
Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static-shielding container.
If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding
container.
•
Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.
Caution
For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be
between 1 and 10 megohm (Mohm).
