Overview
This section provides an overview and specifications of the DFC daughter cards. The DFC4 daughter
card is shipped factory-installed on the WS-X69xx and the WS-X68xx series line cards (except for the
WS-X6816-GBIC Ethernet module). Table 1 lists the WS-X68xx and the WS-X69xx Ethernet modules
that ship with the DFC4 daughter cards. Certain WS-X67xx Ethernet modules can also be upgraded with
the DFC4 daughter card. Table 2 lists the WS-X67xx Ethernet modules that can be upgraded in the field
with the DFC4 daughter card.
Note Modules that are equipped with DFC4 daughter cards are only supported by the Supervisor Engine 2T
with Cisco IOS software release 12.2(50)SY or later.

Removing a CFC or DFC3 Daughter Card
Removing a CFC or DFC3 Daughter Card
If you are upgrading one of the WS-X67xx Ethernet modules listed in Table 2 with a DFC4 daughter
card, you must remove the CFC or the DFC3 daughter card before installing the new DFC4 daughter
card. The following two procedures are provided:
•Removing the CFC Daughter Card, page 10
•Removing the DFC3 Daughter Card, page 14
Note Once you have replaced the DFC3 daughter card with a DFC4 daughter card, the module will only
operate with the Supervisor Engine 2T.
Removing the CFC Daughter Card
If your WS-X67xx Ethernet module is equipped with a CFC daughter card, you must remove it before
you install the DFC4 daughter card.
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly
touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself. Statement 94
To remove a CFC daughter card, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground.
Step 2 Remove the Ethernet module from the Catalyst 6500 series switch.
If you are unsure about the correct procedure for removing a module from the switch chassis, refer to
the “Removing and Installing Ethernet Modules in the Chassis” section on page 28 for removal
instructions.
Step 3 Place the Ethernet module on an antistatic mat with the front of the module facing toward you.

Step 4 If you are upgrading a WS-X6748-GE-TX Ethernet module with a DFC4 daughter card and your
WS-X4748-GE-TX module is equipped with a stiffener bracket that goes across the top of the heat sinks
at the front of the module (see Figure 1), you must first remove the stiffener bracket before continuing
with the CFC daughter card removal procedure. To remove the bracket, follow these substeps:
a. Loosen and remove the six phillips-head screws that secure the bracket to the module.
b. Carefully lift and remove the bracket from the module.
Caution Do not reinstall the stiffener bracket. After upgrading the WS-X6748-GE-TX Ethernet module with a
DFC4 daughter card, the bracket can be discarded.

Step 6 To unseat the CFC daughter card from the Ethernet module, hold each tab at the rear of the CFC daughter
card between your thumb and index finger, and gently press down on both tabs until the connectors are
unseated. (See Figure 3.)
Caution Do not apply too much pressure on the tabs because you might cause damage to the module.

Step 7 Gently lift the CFC daughter card with both hands and remove the CFC daughter card from the module
and immediately place the CFC daughter card in an antistatic bag.

Removing the DFC3 Daughter Card
If your WS-X67xx Ethernet module is equipped with a DFC3 daughter card, you must remove it before
you install the DFC4 daughter card.
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly
touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself. Statement 94
To remove the DFC3 daughter card from modules, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground.
Step 2 Remove the Ethernet module from the chassis.
If you are unsure about the correct procedure for removing a module from the switch chassis, refer to
the “Removing an Ethernet Module from the Chassis” section on page 28 for removal instructions.
Step 3 Place the Ethernet module on an antistatic mat with the front of the module facing toward you.
Step 4 If you are upgrading a WS-X6748-GE-TX Ethernet module with a DFC4 daughter card and your
WS-X4748-GE-TX module is equipped with a stiffener bracket that goes across the top of the heat sinks
at the front of the module (see Figure 1), you must first remove the stiffener bracket before continuing
with the CFC daughter card removal procedure. To remove the bracket, follow these substeps:
a. Loosen and remove the six phillips-head screws that secure the bracket to the module.
b. Carefully lift and remove the bracket from the module.
Caution Do not reinstall the stiffener bracket. After upgrading the WS-X6748-GE-TX Ethernet module with a
DFC4 daughter card, the bracket can be discarded.
Step 5 If your DFC daughter card has a small metal installation bracket as shown in Figure 4, use a No.1
Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two cap nuts and the one screw securing the bracket. Set them
aside along with the bracket. If there is no bracket, just remove the two cap nuts and the one screw.
Step 6 Remove the remaining installation hardware. (See Figure 4.)
Note The installation hardware shown in Figure 4 is for a DFC3B or DFC3BXL daughter card. The
installation hardware for a DFC3C or a DFC3CXL daughter card consists of 6 screws, 2 cap nuts,
and 1 standoff.

Step 7 Partially reinstall the cap nut, rotating about 3 turns so that there is a space of about 1/8 inch (3 mm)
between the bottom of the cap nut and the top of the DFC3 daughter card, as shown in Figure 5. The cap
nut acts as a stop when you unseat the daughter card connector so that the DFC3 daughter card does not
move horizontally and cause damage to the base board.
