CAT6509 with SUP32

gavin.mckee · ‎08-06-2008

Hi,

I have a 6509 (about 5 years old) and am upgrading from MSFCII to SUP32. My power supplies are 1300W and my fan tray is high speed.

I think I must upgrade the power to anything above 2500W, am I correct. Will the older 6500 support a 3000W supply?

Any help well rated.

From Sup32 Q&A

Is there any system requirement to deploy Sup32?

A. Sup32 requires the high-speed fan tray when operating in the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Chassis. As such, a minimum of 2500W AC (in either 110V or 220V mode) or DC power supply is required for operation in a 6-, 9-, and 13-slot chassis. It requires a minimum of 950W in the 3-slot chassis.

Sup32 can also operate in the E-Series chassis or a Cisco 7600 Series Router.

For power supply chassis support please see this link - 3rd question down.
