You do not need to turn off the switch. The 6500 supports OIR (Online Insertion & Removal) and for that price it should :)

You should be fine with this.

Further to the good information by Jon, don't too concerned if you notice that the diag light remains red for some time, it does take a while for the card to boot and complete POST.

If you connect via console when you insert the module, you should the POST message logged to the console when completed and the status should change to Green.

Incidentally all ports will be disbled.

If it is a critical switch i would still do it out of key production hours.

Hi Jon I have another issue, I try to add the new switch card WS-X6724-SFP, but it send the error " failed to come online".

I try to add in slot 1 and then in slot 7 but the same error in both slots, the switch is the 6509 with CatOs 8.x.

I suspect that you are running into either of these two issues depending your CatOS version:-

•The WS-X6724-SFP modules are not recognized correctly on the Catalyst 6500 series switch. For this reason, the recommended supervisior engine software release is as follows:

-For the 24-port Gigabit Ethernet switching module hardware version 2.2 and earlier versions, the recommended supervisor engine software release is 8.1(2). (CSCee30191)

-For the 24-port Gigabit Ethernet switching module hardware version 2.3 and later versions, the recommended supervisor software release is 8.3(3). (CSCee30191)

This information was taken from the following Release 8.x release notes:-

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/catos/8.x/release/notes/OL_4498.html

Hope this helps

Is there any other information or events that have been logged after you attempted the OIR? Such as that indicated in the bug note below?

Below is the details of the software defect mentioned earlier. It states the Hardware revision 2.3 or later is affected, and the version indicated on your module is 3.1. Apparently this defect is resolved in 8.3.3.
