DescriptionFeature
The following restrictions apply to module installation and
operation:
• Module installation—Modules must be installed in adjacent
slots. To maintain an adequate air flow through the chassis,
install a switching-module filler plate (Cisco part number
WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E=) in unused slots, rather than a
blank slot cover (Cisco part number
WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR=).
• Module operation—C6800-16P10G/ 10G-XL operates only
in a Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL and a Cisco Catalyst 6500
E-series chassis equipped with a Supervisor Engine
2T-10GE.
• Slot restrictions—In the following switch chassis, you
cannot install Ethernet modules in slots meant for supervisor
engines:
•
In a Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL, the supervisor engine
slots are 3 and 4.
•
In a Cisco Catalyst 6513 E-series chassis, the
supervisor engine slots are 7 and 8. This restriction
does not apply to any other 6500 E-series chassis.
