Larry, I was in San Jose last week, where a number of 65xx product people presented some good detailed information. If my Cisco SE lives up to his promise of distributing the slides, I'll forward you a copy.
The SUP720 ( NOT Sup 3 ) includes a built in SFM, as well as built in MSFC capability. The card will reside in slot 5 with the redundant card in slot 6 of the 6509 ( formerly reserved for the SFM cards ) and in the equivalent slots in the 6513's ( slots 7 & 8 IIRC ) Yes, you need to replace the fan assembly with the more powerful unit or risk burning up your modules. In the past I have been less than enthusiastic about the 65xx platform, but with the release of the new sup and the new cards, I can offer my uninformed opinion that Cisco has got this one right, much to the chagrin of Foundry and Extreme. -- ------------------------------------------------- Bullwinkle: Hey, Rocky, watch me pull a CCIE out of my hat! Rocky: Bullwinkle, that trick NEVER works.... Bullwinkle: This time FOR SURE!!!!!!! ( pulls snarling Proctor out of hat ) No doubt about it. I gotta get me a new hat!
