Installing the CSM
Required Tools
These tools are required to install the CSM 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 CSM, 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 module. 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
CSM from a switch, see the “Removing the Module” section on page 13.
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 12
•Removing the Module, page 13
•Installing a Module, page 14
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.
•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.

Installing the CSM
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 module. 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 sets 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.
Step 6 If the slot from which you removed the module is to remain empty, install a module filler plate to keep
dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper airflow through the chassis.

14
Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Content Switching Module Installation Note
78-15751-03
Installing the CSM
Warning Blank faceplates (filler panels) serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous
voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might
disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate
the system unless all cards and faceplates are in place.
Installing a Module
This section describes how to install a supervisor engine or module in the Catalyst 6500 series switches.
Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only.
Caution During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the module. 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 install a supervisor engine or module in the chassis, perform these steps:
Step 1 Choose a slot for the supervisor engine or module.
Step 2 Verify that there is enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment that you will connect
directly to the supervisor engine or module ports. If possible, place modules between empty slots that
contain only module filler plates.
Step 3 Verify that the captive installation screws are tightened on all modules installed in the chassis.
This action ensures that the EMI gaskets on all modules are fully compressed to maximize the opening
space for the replacement module.
Note If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push
adjacent modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to
install the replacement module.
Step 4 Remove the module filler plate by removing the two Phillips pan-head screws from the filler plate. (To
remove a module, refer to the “Removing the Module” section on page 13.)
Step 5 Fully open both ejector levers on the new or replacement module. (See Figure 2.)

Figure 2 Positioning the Module in a Horizontal Slot Chassis
Step 6 Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the
following sets of substeps:
Horizontal slots
a. Position the supervisor engine or module in the slot. Make sure that you align the sides of the module
carrier with the slot guides on each side of the slot. (See Figure 2.)
b. Carefully slide the supervisor engine or module into the slot until the EMI gasket along the top edge
of the module makes contact with the module in the slot above it and both ejector levers have closed
to approximately 45 degrees with respect to the module faceplate. (See Figure 3.)

Verifying the Installation

e. Tighten the two captive installation screws on the module.
Note Make sure that the ejector levers are fully closed before tightening the captive installation
screws.
This completes the CSM installation procedure.
Verifying the Installation
When you install the CSM in a Catalyst 6500 series switch, the module goes through a startup sequence
that requires no intervention. At the successful conclusion of the startup sequence, the green Status LED
will light and remain on. If the Status LED does not show green, or if it shows a different color, refer to
Table 1 on page 8 to determine the modules status.
Using the CLI
The software interface for the module is the Cisco IOS and the Catalyst operating system command-line
interface accessed through a Telnet connection to the switch or through the switch console interface.
Refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide and the Catalyst 6500
Series Switch Software Configuration Guide for details.
