We use a lot of these blades for dense server farms. There are a few things
you need to know about them. You do need the Sup720, but you must also be
careful of the chassis as well. These require either an enhanced chassis
like 6503E - 6509E or they can fit into slots 9-13 of a 6513 chassis. They
require dual channel fabric for attachment. Single channel will not do. You
should also run Native IOS. You must be very careful of bug id CSCei20107. I
also highly recommend using the appropriate DFC for these cards that matches
your Sup. Here is a description of that bug, but note that you need to
upgrade to at least 12.2(18)SXE4.
The bug is CSCei20107, it impacts 6748's with DFC3's installed. The bug is
essentially a memory leak related to span sessions. If you don't have spans
configured you may not hit it. The DFC's will reload due to MALLOC fail.

We are using these atm. I think they require native and sup 720
A word of caution is that some of these modules have a issue with them .
When you order make sure you receive these modules with hardware revision
number more than 2.3 . Otherwise they will go down into "pwr down" mode and
the only work around is to repalce with a new module

Subject: OT: ws-x6748-ge-tx support
Hi all:
Anyone knows if Catalyst 6500 with supervisor 1A and using hybrid code can
support the ws-x6748-ge-tx line card?
I've seen Cisco docs that seem contradictories... unfourtunately, i haven't
the apropiate hw to test this issue... it seems that if you have catos 8.1.2
it works but i am not totally sure.
Anyone can help? Anyone has this type of config?
Regards
