Yes, I saw that, but then look at this:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps708/product_data_sheet09186a0080159856.html

Specifically, look at Table 5 for Compatibility:


Product

Specifications

Chassis Compatibility
 • Cisco 6503, 6503-E, 6404-E, 6506, 6506-E, 6509, 6509-E, 6509-NEB,
6509-NEB-A, 6513
• Cisco 7603, 7606, OSR-7609, 7609, 7613

Fan Tray and Power Supply Required
 • High speed fan
• 2500W AC or DC

So while I may need to upgrade the fan tray, everything I've read and been
told so far shows me I'm ok.  If you can think of anything specific such as
what you mention with the software (and is that only for the Sup2)?

Thanks,
Chris
