Environmental and System Requirements
System Requirements
Before you install the CSM into the Catalyst 6500 series switch, make sure that the switch meets the
hardware and software requirements listed in this section.
Caution You can use the Multilayer Switch Feature Card (MSFC), which is internal to the Catalyst 6500 series
switch, to route traffic on either the client side or the server side of the CSM, but not both simultaneously
(unless policy-based routing is used).
Memory Requirements
The CSM memory is not configurable.
Supported Hardware
Before you can use the CSM, you must have a Supervisor Engine 1A with an MSFC, a Policy Feature
Card (PFC) or a Supervisor Engine 2 with an MSFC, and any module that has ports to connect server
and client networks.
Caution The WS-X6066-SLB-APC CSM is not fabric enabled, but the module can operate in a fabric-enabled
chassis like any other nonfabric module.
Table 3 lists the supported hardware and software for the CSM.
Power Supply
You can place the CSM in any slot in the Catalyst 6500 series chassis except for the slots that are
occupied by the supervisor engine and the standby supervisor engine. The CSM operates on power that
is supplied by the chassis.

Installing the CSM
Software Requirements
Caution The CSM cannot be used in a Catalyst 6500 series switch with the Catalyst operating system prior to the
7.5 release.
Table 4 lists the software versions for the CSM:
Software Compatibility
Beginning with software release 2.1(1), backward compatibility is not allowed.
If the CSM software image version that you are using is more recent than the Cisco IOS software that is
specified for that release in Table 4, you will not have all the CSM features available to you. For
example, if you are running CSM software release 3.2(1) with Cisco IOS software release 12.1(11b)E,
the Cisco IOS software will not have the new CLI commands that support the CSM 3.2(1) features.
If the CSM software image version that you are using is older than the Cisco IOS software that is
specified for that release in Table 4, the older CSM application software will not understand the newer
Cisco IOS commands. The CSM software will still run, but the new Cisco IOS commands will have no
effect.

Installing the CSM
Preparing to Install the CSM
Before installing the CSM, make sure that the following items are available:
•Catalyst 6500 series switch chassis
•Management station that is available through a Telnet or a console connection to perform
configuration tasks
Required Tools
These tools are required to install the module in the Catalyst 6500 series switches:
•Flat-blade screwdriver
•Phillips-head screwdriver
•Wrist strap or other grounding device
•Antistatic mat or antistatic foam
Whenever you handle the module, always use a wrist strap or other grounding device to prevent
electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Installing and Removing the Module
Caution 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.
All Catalyst 6500 series switches support hot swapping, which allows you to install, remove, replace,
and rearrange modules without turning off the system power. For more information on removing the
module from a switch, see the “Removing the Module” section on page 10.
When the system detects that a module has been installed or removed, the system automatically runs
diagnostic and discovery routines, acknowledges the presence or absence of the module, and resumes
system operation.
These sections describe how to install and verify the operation of the CSM in the Catalyst 6500 series
switches:
•Slot Assignments, page 9
•Removing the Module, page 10
•Installing a Module, page 11
Slot Assignments
The Catalyst 6006 and 6506 switch chassis have 6 slots, the Catalyst 6009 and 6509 switch chassis have
9 slots, and the Catalyst 6513 switch chassis has 13 slots.
Note The Catalyst 6509-NEB switch has vertical slots, which are numbered 1 to 9 from right to left. Install
the modules with the component side facing to the right.

Installing the CSM
•Slot 1 is reserved for the supervisor engine.
•Slot 2 can be used for a redundant supervisor engine if the supervisor engine in slot 1 fails.
•If a redundant supervisor engine is not required, slots 2 through 6 on the 6-slot chassis, slots 2
through 9 on the 9-slot chassis, and slots 2 through 13 on the 13-slot chassis are available for
switching modules, such as the CSM.
•The empty slots require filler plates, which are blank switching-module carriers that maintain
consistent airflow through the switch chassis.
Removing the Module
This section describes how to remove an existing module from a Catalyst 6500 series switch chassis slot.
Caution 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.
Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into
beams or view directly with optical instruments.
To remove a supervisor engine or module from the chassis, perform these steps:
Step 1 Disconnect any network interface cables that are attached to the supervisor engine or module.
Step 2 Verify that the captive installation screws on all of the modules in the chassis are tight.
This step assures that the space that is created by the removed module is maintained.
Note If the captive installation screws are loose, the electromagnetic interference (EMI) gaskets on
the installed modules will push the modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and
making it difficult to install the replacement module.
Step 3 Loosen the two captive installation screws on the supervisor engine or module.
Step 4 Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the
following set of substeps:
Horizontal slots
a. Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers, and simultaneously rotate the levers outward
to unseat the module from the backplane connector.
b. Grasp the front edge of the module, and slide the module part of the way out of the slot. Place your
other hand under the module to support the weight of the module. Do not touch the module circuitry.
Vertical slots
a. Place your thumbs on the ejector levers that are located at the top and bottom of the module, and
simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the module from the backplane connector.
b. Grasp the edges of the module, and slide the module straight out of the slot. Do not touch the module
circuitry.
Step 5 Place the module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or immediately reinstall it in another slot.
