The Cisco WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR is the blank slot cover for an unused module slot in a Catalyst 6500 chassis. A slot that stays empty needs a cover or filler plate to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper airflow.
Cisco sets one limit on this cover. Where a Supervisor Engine 2T, a WS-X6908-10G or any WS-X68xx or WS-X69xx module is installed, the slots directly adjacent must hold a module or a switching-module filler plate, part number WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E or SLOTBLANK-09. A WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR in those slots has to be removed and replaced with a filler plate for NEBS compliance.
That rule applies to modules such as the WS-X6824-SFP-2T, which needs adjacent slots filled with modules or filler plates. For slots beside a Supervisor Engine 2T or a 6800 Series module, order the WS-X6K-SLOT-CVR-E instead. Related parts include the WS-X6848-SFP-2T 48-port module and the WS-C6509-E 9-slot chassis. Further Catalyst 6500 hardware is in the Cisco switches store category.
