add module to 6500

[oded-levi]

Hello!
I want to add module of WS-X6716-10GE(-3C). The type of 6500 is
Cisco WS-c6509-e (r7000) processor (revision 1.2).

Can I add this module to this type of 6500?
Do I need to reset the 6500 in order to the 6500 receive the module?

Thanks...

Hi,

The module is supported in this chassis with Supervisor Engine 720 and IOS version 12.2(33)SXH2 or later.

See http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps708/product_bulletin_cisco_catalyst_6500_series_16port_10gigabit_ethernet_module_ps2797_Products_Bulletin.html

Please refer to the module data sheet. It informs you that a Supervisor 720 card is required in your chassis to support the WS-X6716.

You will also need to be running IOS 12.2(33)SXH or higher.

The software advisor tool can give more details if you plug in your entire chassis configurations and desired feature set.
