Appendix B
Upgrading Instructions for Release 3 Firmware (R3.00-B29)
For firmware release R3.00-B29, certain guidelines must be followed for proper installation of line cards and their
appropriate firmware. Failing to follow these rules may result in inoperability of the switch or installed line cards.
Line Card Firmware Compatibility
The xStack DES-6500 chassis switch supports the following line cards:

DES-6506 Patch Panel for 24 port RJ45
DES-6509 12-port mini GBIC Fiber Module
DES-6504 12-port 100BASE-FX (SFF) Fast Ethernet Switch module
DES-6505 8-port 1000Base-SX SC Fiber Module
DES-6507 12-port 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T + Combo 2 SFP
DES-6508 16-port 10/100M Base-T module
DES-6510 24-port 10/100M RJ21 Module
DES-6512 2-port 10 GE XFP switch module

These line cards have various compatibilities with different CPU firmware runtime versions. See the following table for a
better understanding.
Runtime Code Version Supported Line Card
R1.01-B37 DES-6507/DES-6509
R1.01-B40 DES-6505/DES-6507/DES-6509
R1.20-B09 DES-6505/DES-6507/DES-6508/DES-6509/DES-6510
R1.30-B02 DES-6504/DES-6505/DES-6507/DES-6508/DES-6509/DES-6510
R1.40-B03 DES-6504/DES-6505/DES-6507/DES-6508/DES-6509/DES-6510
R2.00-B20 DES-6504/DES-6505/DES-6507/DES-6508/DES-6509/DES-6510
DES-6504/DES-6505/DES-6507/DES-6508/DES-6509/DES-6510/DES-6512
DES-6504/DES-6505/DES-6507/DES-6508/DES-6509/DES-6510/DES-6512
R2.50-B12
R3.00-B21
In the previous table, the Runtime Code Version is the earliest firmware version that the corresponding cards listed in the
Supported Line Card column can utilize. For example, the DES-6507 and the DES-6509 are listed for every firmware and
therefore are compatible with every firmware release dating back to R1.01-B37. The DES-6505 starts with R1.01-B40 and
is compatible with every firmware release dating back to R1.01-B40, and so on. Installing a line card in the chassis
containing unsupported firmware will result in a system boot-up failure for the chassis. Line cards marked in bold
denote recently added firmware support for these line cards with the corresponding listed firmware. All installed line
cards must be using the same firmware release runtime code as the chassis CPU, or compatibility problems will
arise.

Precautions for Adding New Line Cards to the Chassis
Certain guidelines must be followed when attempting to add a new line card to the chassis.
1. Ensure the firmware version of the chassis will support the new line cards and their corresponding firmware.
2. Remove line cards which cause a compatibility issue before adding the new line cards. See the next section for
more information on line card compatibility.
3. Perform a system reset on the chassis before updating the firmware code of the new line cards. See the next
section for more information regarding updating firmware for the chassis and the Switch.

Layer 3 Chassis Switch
For Departmental/Enterprise Network Connections
The DES-6500 is a core Layer 3 chassis-based Gigabit switch that provides everything a business needs for a switched network.
This 9-slot chassis offers a high port density, comprehensive network media support with multiple link aggregation, a high
switch fabric capacity of 160Gbps supporting wire-speed L2/L3 packet switching, fault tolerance with line card hot-swap and
redundant power backup capabilities, Quality of Service (QoS)/Class of Service (Cos), complete user access security, traffic
monitoring and comprehensive network management. Designed for performance and flexibility, this chassis offers you the edge
device router simplicity and the price/performance ratio necessary to deploy a cost-effective enterprise, backbone and campus
network.
