None of the WS-X67xx boards will work with a Sup2 (they need Sup720
fabric connections).
I seem to remember that there was an earlier 10G blade (something like
"1 ports, no XENPAKs"), but can't find any details about it - the
board name was WS-X6502-10GE, and even that one would require a fabric
board for your Sup2 (CEF256 fabric) - which hardly anybody has.
I'm not sure whether I'd go there...
That card is EOL & will be EOS next month. You are better off
upgrading the sup to sup720 and buying a 670x 10G card, it'll be
cheaper & higher performance.

Yes. *If* there is a DFC on the board, and it's a non-XL DFC, all the
switching in the system downgrades itself to "non-XL".
I think you could run it as a CFC card (with no DFC), but as far as
I remember, it's not sold that way and most likely "not supported".
6708/16 do not have a CFC option, they only run with DFC.
HTH,
Tim
