Removing the MSFC2

To remove the MSFC2 from the supervisor engine, follow these steps:

Step 1 Upload the current configuration to a server. On any modules running Cisco IOS software, save the

running configuration.

Step 2 Remove the supervisor engine from the Catalyst 6500 series switch. (Refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series

Module Installation Guide for removal instructions.)

Step 3 Place the supervisor engine on an antistatic mat or foam.

Step 4 Remove the securing screws and cap nut that secure the MSFC2 to the supervisor engine. (See Figure 1

for an MSFC2 shipped before November 2001, or see Figure 2 for an MSFC2 shipped after November

2001.)

Note The MSFC2 shipped after November 2001 is physically smaller than the previous MSFC2 and

is not secured with a cap nut. (See Figure 2.)
