Hi,

The 6500 series supports hot-swappable modules and you can hot-swap the ACE blade in theory but you should shut it down prior to removal to avoid loss of data.

Slot 5 in a 6509 is reserved for the Sup720.

See http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/services_modules/ace/installation/note/aceinote.html

for more information.
