Center Rack-Mounting a Catalyst 6506 and Catalyst 6506-E Switch Chassis
This section describes how to install the Catalyst 6506 and Catalyst 6506-E switch chassis in a telco-style rack using the center rack-mount kit (WS-C6597=). For the Catalyst 6506 and Catalyst 6506-E switch chassis, you need to install the two center rack-mount kit brackets to the bottom sides of the chassis.
Note Use this kit in place of the rack-mount brackets shipped installed on the chassis, and only when you are center rack-mounting a Catalyst switch in a telco-style rack.
Note To make handling the chassis easier, you should remove all modules and power supplies before you install the chassis in the rack. The illustrations that show the modules and power supplies in the following procedure are for reference purposes only.
To install the Catalyst 6506 or Catalyst 6506-E switch chassis in a telco-style rack using the WS-C6597 center rack-mount kit, perform these steps:
Step 1 Remove the two brackets and the bag of screws from the packaging.
Step 2 Attach the two brackets to the sides of the chassis with 4 M4 screws on each side. (See Figure 1.)

Submitting a Service Request
Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request is assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest
For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.
To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:
Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447

Definitions of Service Request Severity
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
