Description
The following restrictions apply to module installation and
operation:
• Module installation—Modules must be installed in adjacent
slots. To maintain an adequate air flow through the chassis,
install a switching-module filler plate (Cisco part number
WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E=) in unused slots, rather than a
blank slot cover (Cisco part number
WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR=).
• Module operation—C6800-16P10G/ 10G-XL operates only
in a Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL and a Cisco Catalyst 6500
E-series chassis equipped with a Supervisor Engine
2T-10GE.
• Slot restrictions—In the following switch chassis, you
cannot install Ethernet modules in slots meant for supervisor
engines:
• In a Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL, the supervisor engine
slots are 3 and 4.
• In a Cisco Catalyst 6513 E-series chassis, the
supervisor engine slots are 7 and 8. This restriction
does not apply to any other 6500 E-series chassis.
For Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL switches:
• Fabric channel 0 : Ports 1 to 8
• Fabric channel 1: Ports 9 to 16
For Cisco Catalyst 6500-E series switches:
• Fabric channel 0 : Ports 1 to 8
• Fabric channel 1: Ports 9 to 16
In a Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL chassis—80 GB per second
In a Cisco Catalyst 6500-E series chassis—80 GB per second
PoE—Not supported
Distributed forwarding— The C6800-16P10G module ships with
a factory-installed DFC4-E and the C6800-16P10G-XL module
ships with a factory-installed DFC4-EXL daughter card. The
modules are not field upgradable.
