The WS-F6700-xxx DFCs only function on the WS-X67xx series line cards. It 
has a totally different connector to the one that is required for the 
WS-X6516s, and WS-X6816 module, they require the WS-F6K-xxx DFCs. The 
DFC3b, DFC3bXL DFCs for WS-X615s and WS-X6816 have not been released yet. 
Contact your account team to get the FCS date for these DFCs.
