Removing the MSFC2
If upgrading a supervisor engine without an MSFC2 (WS-X6K-SUP1A-PFC or WS-X6K-SUP1A-2GE),

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

Always use an ESD wrist strap when handling modules or coming into contact with internal components.
Caution
Before you remove the supervisor engine, you should first upload the current configuration to a server.
You can recover the configuration by downloading it from the server to the nonvolatile memory of the
supervisor engine. For more information, refer to Chapter 26, "Working with Configuration Files," in the
Catalyst 6500 Series Software Configuration Guide.
The DRAM is located beneath the MSFC2. To upgrade the supervisor engine, you must remove the
MSFC2 from the supervisor engine.
