Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine Guide
1-6
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 the redundant supervisor engine in standby mode.
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.
Supervisor Engine 2, Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor Engine 32 PISA, Supervisor Engine 720,
and Supervisor Engine 720-10GE are supported.
Refer to your software release notes for specific information on the minimum software release
versions required to support the supervisor engines in the Catalyst 6509 chassis.
Supervisor Engine 2 must be installed in slot 1 or slot 2.
Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor Engine 32 PISA, Supervisor Engine 720, and Supervisor
Engine 720-10GE must be installed in slot 5 or slot 6.
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, and Supervisor
Engine 720-10GE require that the high-speed fan tray (WS-C6K-9SLOT-FAN2) be installed in the
chassis. You must also install a 2500 W or higher capacity power supply in the chassis to power the
high-speed fan tray.
The 2500 W power supply, when supporting the high-speed fan tray, can be powered from either
120 VAC or 220 VAC.
Supervisor Engine 720 and Supervisor Engine 720-10GE have a built-in switching fabric. Switch
Fabric Modules (WS-C6500-SFM and WS-X6500-SFM2) are not supported by Supervisor
Engine 720 and Supervisor Engine 720-10GE. The Switch Fabric Modules and Supervisor
Engine 720 or Supervisor Engine 720-10GE cannot be installed in the same chassis.
