Fan tray requirements Both versions of the Supervisor Engine 2T require that a high-speed fan tray
be installed in the chassis.

Engine
2T.
Slot installation restrictions Supervisor Engine 2T must be installed in:
• Slots 1 and 2 in a 3-slot or a 4-slot chassis
• Slots 5 and 6 in a 6-slot or a 9-slot chassis
• Slots 7 and 8 in a 13-slot chassis
Note The primary supervisor engine can be installed in either slot.
Note When the Supervisor Engine 2T is installed in a chassis with either
a WS-X69xx or a WS-X68xx module, there is a requirement that the
two slots adjacent to the supervisor engine and the module either
have a module installed in them or, if the slots are unused, have a
switching-module filler plate (Cisco part number SLOTBLANK-09
or WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E) installed for NEBS compliance. Do not
use blank slot covers (WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR) to cover the adjacent
unused slots.
