Software Requirements
Software Requirements
The software requirements are as follows:
•For switches with Cisco IOS on the Catalyst 6000 Family of Switches product on both the supervisor
engine and the MSFC2:
Cisco IOS Release 12.1(2)E or later on both the supervisor engine and the MSFC2. The image
required to support this is c6sup12-*-mz, where * is one of the various versions (such as js, is, ds).
When you upgrade from MSFC to MSFC2, you need to upgrade the c6sup-*-mz or c6sup11-*-mz
image to the new c6sup12-*-mz image.
•For switches with Catalyst supervisor engine software on the supervisor engine and Cisco IOS
software on the MSFC2:
– Catalyst 6000 family supervisor engine software release 5.4(3) or later
– Cisco IOS Release 12.1(2)E or later on the MSFC2
Parts List
These parts are in the replacement kit:
•One Catalyst 6000 MSFC2 (WS-F6K-MSFC2=)
•One disposable grounding wrist strap
•One bag of spare mounting screws
Required Tools
These tools are required to perform the installation of the MSFC2:
•Antistatic mat or foam pad to support the removed supervisor engine
•3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver for the captive installation screws on the supervisor engine
•Number 1 Phillips screwdriver for the screws and cap nut that fasten the MSFC2 to the
supervisor engine
•Your own ESD-prevention equipment or the disposable grounding wrist strap included with all
upgrade kits, field-replaceable units (FRUs), and spares
Refer to the Site Preparation and Safety Guide for ESD details including the locations of the ESD
connectors on the Catalyst 6000 family switches.

Installation Guidelines
Installation Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when installing an MSFC2 on a supervisor engine:
•The hardware on both supervisor engines in a single chassis must be identical. You cannot mix an
MSFC and an MSFC2 in the same chassis. You must shut down the switch to install the MSFC2,
even if you have redundant supervisor engines.
•If you have redundant supervisor engines, you must install an MSFC2 on each supervisor engine.
•The Supervisor Engine 1A with only a PFC cannot be upgraded to MSFC2. There are no standoffs
installed for securing the MSFC2 to the supervisor engine.
•The Supervisor Engine 1A with a PFC and an MSFC (WS-X6K-SUP1A-MSFC) can be upgraded to
an MSFC2. You must remove the existing MSFC from the Supervisor Engine 1A. The MSFC2 uses
the same standoffs used for the MSFC.
•The Supervisor Engine 2 with a PFC2 (WS-X6K-SUP2-2GE) can be upgraded to an MSFC2. The
supervisor engine has standoffs installed for securing the MSFC2 to the supervisor engine.
Preparing the Supervisor Engine
Note Review the guidelines in the “Software Requirements” section on page 6 before you prepare the
supervisor engine.
To install the MSFC2 on a Supervisor Engine 1A with a PFC and an MSFC, you must shut down the
switch, remove the Supervisor Engine 1A from the chassis, and remove the MSFC from the
Supervisor Engine 1A.
To install the MSFC2 on a Supervisor Engine 2, you must shut down the switch and remove the
Supervisor Engine 2 from the chassis.
Caution Always use an ESD wrist strap when handling modules or coming into contact with internal
components.
Before you remove a supervisor engine, you should first upload the current configuration to a server.
This 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 26, “Working with Configuration Files,” in the Catalyst 6000 Family
Software Configuration Guide.

Removing the MSFC from the Supervisor Engine 1A
To prepare the supervisor engine, follow these steps:
Step 1 Upload the current configuration to a server. On any modules running Cisco IOS, save the running
configuration.
Step 2 Shut down the switch.
Step 3 Remove the supervisor engine from the Catalyst 6000 family switch. (Refer to the Catalyst 6000
Family Module Installation Guide for removal instructions.)
Step 4 Place the supervisor engine on an antistatic mat or foam.
To remove the MSFC from the Supervisor Engine 1A, see the “Removing the MSFC from the Supervisor
Engine 1A” section on page 8 and follow the instructions for removing the MSFC.
To install the MSFC2 on a Supervisor Engine 2, see the “Installing the MSFC2” section on page 10 and
follow the instructions for installing the MSFC2.
Removing the MSFC from the Supervisor Engine 1A
Note You must remove the Flash SIMM from the MSFC to access two mounting screws that are located
under the SIMM.
Caution Handle the SIMM by its edges only; avoid touching the memory module, pins, or traces (the metal
fingers along the connector edge of the SIMM). SIMMs are sensitive components that are susceptible
to ESD damage and can be shorted by mishandling.
To remove the MSFC from the Supervisor Engine 1A, follow these steps:
Step 1 Note that the Flash SIMM is located at the rear of the MSFC (see Figure 1). Pull the locking spring
clips on both sides of the Flash SIMM outward and tilt the Flash SIMM free of the clips (see Figure 2).
Be careful not to break the clips on the Flash SIMM connector.

Step 4 Hold the top edge of the MSFC with your right hand and the bottom-left edge with your left hand
(see Figure 3). Gently lift the MSFC with both hands simultaneously and remove the MSFC from the
supervisor engine.
Caution Use care not to damage the connectors on the supervisor engine. If you damage a connector, you will
have to return the supervisor engine to Cisco for repair.
Step 5 Place the MSFC on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam pad.
Installing the MSFC2
Note The MSFC2 is designed to be installed on a Supervisor Engine 1A and a Supervisor Engine 2.
The standoff locations on the different supervisor engines may not be the same. Not all mounting
holes on the MSFC2 will be used in all installations. Visually verify that there are standoffs beneath
the mounting holes before installing the securing screws.
