how to install c6800-sup6t-xl on 6509-e

[rtslan]

hi guys

i have problem with new c6800-sup6t-xl. i installed the sup on 6509-e but when power on the switch, but all LEDs indicate red color and i got error by LEDs. when i connect console to the switch no message show. i know that, the sup is compatible with 6509-e.

 - Why do you conclude this supervisor would be compatible with a lower ranged platform (6509-e) ?

hi man

according to cisco c6800-sup6t data sheet, this sup is compatible with 6509-e. but i could not find any procedure to run this sup on cisco 6509-e.

Sure the compatability there but you need also considering check (*)

^* SW Support for the Sup6T on the 6500-E chassis will be available in 2H 2016 and will not be available at FCS.

Steps to follow : (led the chasis ON with Power)

connect the console cable and remove the module and re-insert and capture logs from the begining.

post the picture of RED LED one to have a look where you getting error.

 - Ok , but I don't see any mentioning of that particular supervisor card in :

hi man

i did your recommendation. but i didn't find any reaction from switch or sup on console and the error is one led become red color. i upload pic 

" SW Support for the Sup6T on the 6500-E chassis will be available in 2H 2016 and will not be available at FCS." what does it mean?

[Leo Laohoo]

Power down the chassis.
Eject all line cards except the Sup6T.
Connect a console cable and log the console output.
Power up the chassis.
Post the output to the console because we cannot guess what the Sup6T is/isn't doing.

Forget it.  The first LED to the left is "Status".  If that one is red, that means the supervisor card has suffered a terrific failure.  There is nothing left to do but to contact Cisco TAC and organize an RMA.

rtslan,

What version of software is on the Supervisor 6T ?

Please verify the Sup6T + 6509-E combination is supported by checking the release notes for your release at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/switches/catalyst-6500-series-switches/products-release-notes-list.html .

Cheers,
Scott
