Hi,
I know these are old devices and we have a plan to replace them with ASR's over the next 12 months however in the mean time we are trying to upgrade the line cards in a 6503-E chassis to support more routes by installing a SUP720-3BXL, DFC3BXL and DFC3CXL daughter boards on the line cards and upgrading cards to 1GB memory where required too.
The SUP720-3BXL and X6708-10GE with DFC3CXL upgrades all went fine and work correctly however the upgrade of the DFC on the X6748-GE-TX from a DFC3B to a DFC3BXL is not working and the line card ends up in a PwrDown status with the below logged to the console:
*Jan 4 08:52:06.971: %OIR-SP-3-PWRCYCLE: Card in module 2, is being power-cycled 'Off (Module Reset due to exception or user request)'
*Jan 4 08:52:06.971: %C6KPWR-SP-4-DISABLED: power to module in slot 2 set Off (Module Reset due to exception or user request)

We run these in other devices as well with similar IOS, FW and SW versions so I've matched them up with the other devices just to get them on an identical setup in case there were issues with versions. I'm currently running the below:

I have used different X6748-GE-TX line cards, different memory modules, different DFC3BXL's, different slots in the chassis, etc. Nothing hasn't been replaced other than the chassis itself and the issue persists.
If we put the DFC3B back on the line card then it works fine. It's only when running the DFC3BXL that the issue occurs in any configuration which makes me think it's a compatibility issue however as mentioned we run the same configuration on other devices.
I've been through the data sheets and made sure that there are not any slot restrictions and looked for anything specific in release notes as well but I'm at a bit of a loss and just wondering if anyone had any experience of this to provide any ideas before I roll it back to the DFC3B.
