THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL

STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT

WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.

THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT

SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSEOR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limit s for a Class A digital device, pursuant

to part 15 of the FCC rules. These li mits are designed to provide reasonable prot ection against harmful interference when t he equipment is operated in a commercial

environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used i n accordance with the instruction manual, may cause

harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required

to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may r adiate radio-frequency energy. If it i s not

installed in accordance with Ciscos installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to

comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance w ith the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable

protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Ciscos writ ten authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital

devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television

communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment i s causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of i tsperipheral devices. If the equipment causes int erference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the followi ng measures:

Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits

controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Chapter 1 Product Overview

Catalyst 6503 Switch

Catalyst 6503 SwitchThe Catalyst 6503 switch is a 3-slot horizontal chassis supporting redundant power supplies, redundant

supervisor engines, and slots for up to two modules. The chassis is NEBS L3 compliant. Figure 1-1

shows the front view of the chassis and Figure 1-2 shows the rear view of the chassis.

Table 1-1 lists the features of the Catalyst 6503 switch chassis.

Table 1-1 Catalyst 6503 Switch Features

Feature Description

Chassis Three horizontal slots. Slots are numbered from 1 (top) to 3 (bottom).Supervisor engine Supports Supervisor Engine 2, Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor

Engine 32 PISA, and Supervisor Engine 720.

Note Refer to your software release notes for the minimum software

release versions required to support the supervisor engines.

Supervisor engines can be installed in either 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.

Supervisor Engine 720 with 10-GB uplink ports (VS-S720-10G-3C and

VS-S720-10G-3CXL) is not supported on the Catalyst 6503 switchchassis.

Supervisor Engine 32, Supervisor Engine 32 PISA, or a Supervisor

Engine 720 requires that the optional high-speed fan tray

(FAN-MOD-3HS) be installed in the chassis.

Supervisor Engine 720 has built-in switching fabric.

The uplink ports are fully functional on the redundant supervisor engine

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 that all supervisor engineresources 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.

Modules Supports up to two Catalyst 6500 series modules.

Does not support the WS-C6500-SFM and WS-X6500-SFM2 Switch

Fabric Modules.

Does not support the WS-X67xx modules.

Some Catalyst 6500 series modules may: Not be supported

Require that you install a Supervisor Engine 720

Have chassis slot restrictions

Require a specific software release level to operate

Note Check your software release notes for specific information.

Backplane bandwidth 32 GBps shared bus.

720 GBps switch fabric.

Clock and VTT modules One replaceable clock module (CLK-7600=) provides clocking signals

to the EOBC channel and the switching bus.

Nonreplaceable voltage termination (VTT) module provides reference

voltage for bus signals.

Fan tray The chassis supports one hot-swappable fan tray. Two fan tray models

are available:

Power Entry Module (PEM)1 A PEM is required for each installed power supply.

PEM-15A-AC (PEM for 950 W AC-input power supplies).

PEM-DC/3 (PEM for 950 W DC-input power supplies).

PEM-20A-AC+ (PEM for 1400 W AC-input power supplies).

Power supplies Supports one or two power supplies. The following power supplies are

supported:

PWR-950-AC (950 W AC-input power supply).

PWR-950-DC (950 W DC-input power supply).


Installed power supplies can be of different wattage ratings. Installed

power supplies can be both AC-input, both DC-input, or one AC-input

and one DC-input. Power supplies can be configured in either redundant

or combined mode.

Note For Catalyst 6503 and Catalyst 6503-E chassis that are equipped

with DC-input power supplies, the system (NEBS) ground serves as

the primary safety ground and must be installed. The DC-input

power supplies for these chassis do not have a separate ground.

All Catalyst 6500 series AC-input power supplies require single-phase

source AC. Source AC can be out of phase between multiple power

supplies or multiple AC-power plugs on the same power supply because

all AC power supply inputs are isolated.

Single power supplies are installed in the lower power supply bay. The

second power supply is installed in the upper power supply bay.

Note For proper operation of the power supply OUTPUT FAIL LED,

systems with single power supplies must be configured with a

minimum of one fan tray and one supervisor engine. Systems with

dual power supplies must have a minimum configuration of one fan

tray, one supervisor engine, and one additional module. Failure to

meet these minimum configuration requirements can cause a false

power supply output fail signal.

1. PEMs are required for Catalyst 6503 and Catalyst 6503-E switches only.

FAN-MOD-3HS (Optional high-speed fan tray)270 CFM

Note To maintain proper air circulation through the Catalyst switch

chassis, we recommend that you maintain a minimum 6-inch (15 cm)separation between a wall and the chassis air intake or a wall and the

chassis air exhaust. You should also allow a minimum separation of

12 inches (30.5 cm) between the hot air exhaust on one chassis and

the air intake on another chassis. Failure to maintain adequate air

space can cause the chassis to overheat and the system to fail. On

Catalyst chassis in which the airflow is from front to back, the

chassis may be placed side-by-side.
