Note The DRAM DIMMs on the Supervisor Engine 1A with an MSFC (WS-X6K-SUP1A-MSFC) are located

beneath the MSFC. The MSFC is not field replaceable. Re-installing the MSFC could damage your

supervisor engine. To upgrade the DRAM, you must also upgrade the MSFC to an MSFC2. Both

upgrades are available in the MEM-S1-128MB-UPG= upgrade kit.

For information on removing the MSFC, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Multilayer Switch Feature
