System On/Off switch |
The Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL switch chassis has seven horizontal slots, of which five are module slots and two are supervisor engine slots.
Install a 3000 W or higher-capacity power supply.
Install supervisor engines only in slot 3 or 4.
In a switch installed with Supervisor Engine 2T if the slots are not occupied by supervisor engines, you can install service modules. However, you cannot install Ethernet modules in slot 3 and 4. Check your software release notes for any restrictions on the type of module that can be installed.
In systems with redundant supervisor engines, both the supervisor engines must be of the same model and have the same daughter card configurations.
Each supervisor engine must have the resources to run the switch on its own, which means that all the supervisor engine resources are duplicated. Identical supervisor engine memory configurations are recommended, but are not required, as long as the supervisor engine with the smaller memory configuration is sufficient to run the configured features of the switch. Additionally, each supervisor engine must have its own flash device and console port connections.
The uplink ports are fully functional on all redundant supervisor engine models when they are in the standby mode. For more information, see the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Module Installation Note.
The following are the Supervisor Engine 2T versions supported on the switch.

The switch supports a single front-serviceable and hot-swappable fan tray with nine individual fans. The fan tray is responsible for cooling the entire chassis and interfacing with environmental monitors to trigger alarms when conditions exceed thresholds.
Model number C6807-XL-FAN.
A maximum cooling capacity of 850 CFM1 (120 CFM per slot). At this capacity, the fan tray can cool seven 800 W modules.
Four variable-speed operating modes between 3,000 and 6,000 RPM 2 for each fan.
Up to three fan failures. The fans that are working increase RPM or CFM.
Online Insertion and Removal (OIR) for a minimum of 120 seconds (depending on the ambient temperature).
Note | Individual fans are not field-replaceable units (FRUs). You must replace the fan tray. |
The switch supports one to four field-replaceable power supply modules (PSMs) labeled 1 to 4, with a single system On/Off switch.
Model number C6800-XL-3KW-AC.
Redundant and combined configuration modes. The redundant mode is the default and recommended mode.
Only AC input.
3000 W when powered with 240VAC, and 1300 W when powered with 120VAC.
Only single-phase source AC. Source AC can be out of phase between multiple power supplies or multiple AC-power plugs on the same power supply because all AC power supply inputs are isolated.
Redundant Mode (n+1) |
Combined Mode (n+0) |
|
---|---|---|
Description |
The system operates on two to four PSMs. This includes a reserve PSM that is available in case of a failure. The system power supply configuration is n3 PSMs +1 redundant PSM. |
The system operates on one to four power supplies. The power available to the system is the sum of power outputs of all the PSMs in the chassis. |
Operating capacity |
|
All available PSMs operate at 100 percent capacity. |
In case of failure |
The +1 redundant PSM takes over and operates at 90 percent capacity. |
There is no redundant power supply in this mode. The PSMs that are still operational continue to work. If they are not able to handle the load, the necessary number of modules are shut down. The number of modules that will be shut down depends on the amount of combined power the operational PSMs are able to provide. For example, if you have installed two PSMs, they supply 6000 W, which can power a fully loaded chassis. But if one PSM fails, the power provided drops down to 3000 W, which causes some modules to shut down. |
Recommendation |
This is the recommended and default mode. If you have a fully loaded chassis, we recommend that you install at least three PSMs operating in a redundant mode (2+1). |
Although available, we recommend that you do not use this mode. If you are implementing this mode, we recommend at least two PSMs (2+0) operating in the combined mode. |
The PSMs provide 3000 W when powered with 240 VAC, and 1300 W when powered with 120 VAC. In systems where power supply modules provide different wattage, you may not have true redundancy. If the PSM with the higher wattage fails, the PSM with the lower wattage might not be able to handle the entire load by itself and system power management will shut down devices.
Note | When shutting down devices, depending on how much power saving is needed, the system powers down modules in a descending order, starting with the highest-numbered slot. Slots containing supervisor engines are bypassed and are not powered down (Power is automatically reserved for supervisor engine slots). This shutdown order is fixed and cannot be changed. |
You can change the configuration of the power supplies to redundant or combined at any time. If you switch from a redundant to a combined configuration, all the available PSMs are enabled (even a PSM that was disabled because it was of a lower wattage ). If you change from a combined to a redundant configuration, all the available PSMs are initially enabled, and if they are of the same wattage, they remain enabled. If they are of different wattage, a syslog message appears and the lower wattage supply is disabled.
The switch supports one to four AC power entry modules (PEMs) labeled AC1 to AC4. The four PEMs connect to the four corresponding PSMs (Labeled 1 to 4), for example, AC1 connects to 1 and so on.
The AC input voltage from the PEM is transmitted to the backplane, which then conducts it to the PSM. The power supply module generates the necessary amount of power.
The switch supports two redundant, field-replaceable 52 V converters labeled PSC1 and PSC2.
The PSC converts the 52 V supplied by the PSM to 3.3 V and conducts it to the backplane. The clock module, VTT modules, and module slots (line cards) require 3.3 V.
Use the switch LEDs to monitor switch activity and performance.
For information about module and supervisor engine LEDs, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Ethernet Module Installation Guide and the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Supervisor Engine Guide available on Cisco.com.

The switch supports one replaceable clock card with built-in redundancy. The supported model number is CLK-7600.
Three replaceable voltage termination (VTT-E) modules, which are rear-serviceable (located behind back-plate) provide reference voltage for bus signals. The supported model number is WS-C6K-VTT-E.
