I have "inherited" a Catalyst 4506 with IOS version 12.2(20)EWA1 and Supervisor IV already installed. We recently purchased a second Supervisor IV and I am looking to install this second supervisor for redundancy. Is there anything special with installing a second supervisor or so I just physically install the new supervisor and the IOS will automatically set everything up? I've been searching and I can't really find any documents about how to do this. Thanks!

Hi!
You need have an identical IOS on both Supervisor (and identical hardware)
.
Supervisor engine redundancy is configured by default, but You can manually synchronized configuration as next:
Switch(config)# redundancy
Switch(config-red)# main-cpu
Switch(config-r-mc)# auto-sync standard
Switch(config-r-mc)# end
Switch# copy running-config startup-config

Dear ed ,
what is your switch model its 4506 or 4507 , if it 4506 it wont support for supervisor redudancy , because it has got only one supervisor slot , slot no 1
kindly look into below link for switch chasis comparison
