Installing the CSM

Required Tools

These tools are required to install the CSM in the Catalyst 6500 series switches:

•

Whenever you handle the CSM, always use a wrist strap or other grounding device to prevent

electrostatic discharge (ESD).

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

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 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.
