Switch Fabric Modules
This chapter describes the Switch Fabric Modules and includes the following sections:
• Switch Fabric Module (WS-C6500-SFM), page 11-1
• Switch Fabric Module 2 (WS-X6500-SFM2), page 11-2
Note You can have a Switch Fabric Module (WS-C6500-SFM) with a Switch Fabric Module 2
(WS-X6500-SFM2) in the same Cisco 7606, Cisco 7609, or OSR-7609 chassis.
Switch Fabric Modules operate only with a Supervisor Engine 2. They are not supported with Supervisor
Engine
1A or Supervisor Engine 720.
Switch Fabric Module (WS-C6500-SFM)
The Switch Fabric Module (WS-C6500-SFM) requires a Supervisor Engine 2 and must be installed in
slot
5 or slot 6 of the Cisco 7606, Cisco 7609, or OSR-7609 routers. (See Figure 11-1.) The Switch
Fabric Module cannot be installed in the Cisco 7613 switch or the Cisco 7603 router.
For redundancy, you can install a second Switch Fabric Module. The first-installed Switch Fabric
Module functions as the primary module. When you install two modules at the same time, the module
in slot
5 functions as the primary module, and the module installed in slot 6 functions as the backup. If
you reset the Switch Fabric Module installed in slot
5, the module in slot 6 becomes the primary.

Two front-panel LEDs provide status information for the module and indicate whether the module is
active. The STATUS LED functions are listed in
Table 7-1 on page 7-2. The ACTIVE LED is green when
the Switch Fabric Module is operational and active and is orange when the module is in standby mode.
