Install module filler plates (blank module carriers) in the empty slots to maintain
consistent airflow through the switch chassis.
The IDSM-2 works with any supervisor engine using SPAN, but the copy capture
feature with security VACLs requires that the supervisor engine has the Policy
Feature Card (PFC) or the Multi-Layer Switch Feature Card (MSFC) option.
To install the IDSM-2 in the Catalyst 6500 series switch, follow these steps:
Make sure that you take necessary ESD precautions.
During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the
card. Do not touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could
shock yourself.

engine or other module. Refer to your switch documentation for
information about which slots are reserved for the supervisor engine or
other modules.
Remove the installation screws (use a screwdriver, if necessary) that secure the
filler plate to the desired slot.
Remove the filler plate by prying it out carefully.
