[c-nsp] CAT6509 module position in chassis

  Hi Pavel.

The Catalyst 6500 (and 7600) reserves power for supervisors in both slot 
5 and 6 even if you only have one sup. This means you should use the 
available slot for a linecard if you only plan on running one sup and a 
small PSU to not waste "reserved watts" on a blank slot.

Maybe not the kind of information you were looking for, but still 
noteworthy.
