Catalyst 6000 Family Content Switching Module Installation and Configuration Note
78-11631-02 Rev. A0
System Requirements
Hardware Supported
Before you can use the CSM, you must have a Supervisor Engine 1A with an MSFC and a Policy Feature
Card (PFC), or a Supervisor Engine 2 with an MSFC, and any module with ports to connect server and
client networks. The PFC is required for the VLAN access control list (VACL) capture functionality.
Caution
The WS-X6066-SLB-APC Content Switching Module is not fabric enabled.
Environmental Requirements
The CSM operates in temperatures from 0
o
to 40
o
C (32
o
to 104
o
F). The module can withstand, without
damage, nonoperating temperatures from –40
o
to 70
o
C (–40
o
to 158
o
F).
The CSM can operate in relative humidity from 10 to 90 percent (noncondensing) and can withstand,
without damage, nonoperating relative humidity of 5 to 95 percent (noncondensing).
Power Requirements
You can place the CSM in any slot in the Catalyst 6000 family chassis except for the slots occupied by
the supervisor engine and the standby supervisor engine. The CSM operates on power supplied by the
chassis.
Note
Slot 1 is reserved for the supervisor engine. Slot 2 can contain an additional supervisor
engine in case the supervisor engine in slot 1 fails. If a redundant supervisor engine is not
required, you can insert the CSM in slots 2 through 6 on the 6-slot chassis, in slots 2 through
9 on a 9-slot chassis, or slots 2 through 13 on the 13-slot chassis.
