Chassis/slot restrictions	Not supported in the Catalyst 6503 chassis or the Catalyst 6509-NEB chassis Supported only in slots 9–13 in the Catalyst 6513 chassis and does not power up in slots 1–8. When the WS-X6716-10T module is installed in a Catalyst 6500-E series chassis or a Catalyst 6509-NEB-A chassis, the configuration is NEBS 3 compliant (chassis supports operating temperatures up to 55°C).

Module front panel LEDs	STATUS Indicates the status of the module. Green—All diagnostics pass; the module is operational. Orange—The module is booting or running diagnostics; an overtemperature condition has occurred. Red—A fault has been detected in the module. Off—The module is not powered up. ID Blinking blue—The module is being identified for attention. The LED is turned on by a CLI command to aid servicing personnel in identifying the module. SLOT 1, 2, 3, 4 Indicates the operational status of the CFP slot. Green—Slot is occupied and operational. Alternate flashing green and yellow—Slot is identified for customer attention. The alternate color flashing operates in conjunction with the flashing blue ID LED. Off—Slot is empty. LINK Indicates the link status of each port. When operating with 40-Gigabit CFP transceiver modules, the first LINK LED under each CFP slot indicates the status of the 40-Gigabit port. When operating with 10-Gigabit SFP+ transceivers, the four grouped LEDs associated with each optical bay indicate the port status of the four SFP+ transceivers in the FourX converter. Green—The port is active (the link is connected and operational). Yellow—The port is disabled. Alternate flashing green and yellow—Port is identified for customer attention.
