10G LineCard support on 6th Slot of 6509-E Chassis

Muhammad Kashif Siddiqui · ‎05-27-2015

On my 6509-E chassis I have spare 6th-Slot. I want to insert 10G Line card on it. As per below documents I can see that we can insert linecard on 6th Slot but when we physically saw the backplane its back connector is bit different from usual line cards slots.

Please share some document or article which can show the Linecards which I can install on 6th Slot.

Go HERE and go to Table 1. Look under "Slot Requirements" for more information.

Dear Leo,

Thanks for your pin point answer. Just to double check I want to ask you again.

Please confirm, Will this below requirement should work as per document ? As I am still bit confused about Supervisor Engine & 6th Slot.

Chassis: WS-C6509-E
SUP: WS-SUP720-3B
LineCard : WS-X6708-10G
Slot on Chassis: 6th

Thanks/Regards

If you have a redundant supervisor you use slot 6 (if the other sup is in slot 5).

If you don't have a redundant supervisor you are free to use that slot for any other module in a 6509 chassis.

What /PFC/DFC card do both line cards have?
