Catalyst 6500 Series Switch and Cisco 7600 Series Router Wireless Services Module Installation and Verification Note
78-17121-04
System Requirements
CONSOLE Ports
The CONSOLE ports allow you to access each controller either locally (with a console terminal) or
remotely (with a modem). The CONSOLE ports are EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous, serial connections with
hardware flow control and RJ-45 connectors.
System Requirements
These sections describe the hardware and software requirements:
• Hardware Components, page 3
• Power Requirements, page 3
• Software Requirements, page 4
Hardware Components
The Catalyst 6500 series or Cisco 7609 or 7613 chassis in which the Cisco WiSM is installed requires a
Supervisor 720 module. The supported slots for the Cisco WiSM are listed in Table 2.
Power Requirements
The Cisco WiSM module requires 254W for operation. Make sure that your chassis can provide this
power.
Note All Catalyst 6500 chassis (except the Catalyst 6503) require the fan tray 2 module, which requires the
2500W power supply for proper operation. For planning purposes, be aware that the 2500Wt power
supply requires a 20A input power circuit with a NEMA plug.
You can use the show power command to view power details for your installation, including the system
power available and power statistics for installed power supplies and cards.
