Hardware and Software Requirements
Hardware and Software Requirements
To install and use the NetFlow Services Card, you need the following:
•
•
Catalyst 4500 series switch (Catalyst 4503, 4506, 4507R, or Catalyst 4006)
Supervisor Engine IV or Supervisor Engine V running Cisco IOS Version 12.1(13)EW or greater
Required Tools
You will need these tools to install the Catalyst 4500 series NetFlow Services Card:
•
•
Antistatic mat or foam pad to support the removed module
Number 1 Phillips screwdriver for the screws and cap nuts that fasten the NetFlow Services Card to
the supervisor engine
•
Your own electrostatic discharge (ESD)-prevention equipment or the disposable grounding wrist
strap included with all upgrade kits, field-replaceable units (FRUs), and spares
Whenever you handle any FRU, always use a wrist strap or other grounding device to prevent ESD. For
information on preventing ESD, refer to the “Preventing ESD” section of the Site Preparation and Safety
Guide.
Installing the NetFlow Services Card
To install the NetFlow Services Card on a Supervisor Engine IV, follow these steps:
Warning
During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly
touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
Step 1
Step 2
Remove the supervisor engine from the Catalyst 4500 series switch. (Refer to Chapter 3, Installing the
Modules, in the Catalyst 4500 Series Module Installation Guide for removal and installation
instructions.)
Place the supervisor engine on an antistatic mat or foam, with the front of the supervisor engine facing
toward you.
Step 3
Step 4
Remove the NetFlow Services Card from its antistatic bag.
Align the three mounting holes on the NetFlow Services Card with the three male standoff insulators on

Step 5
Ensure that the connectors on the NetFlow Services Card are aligned with the connectors on
the supervisor engine, which should happen automatically when the mounting holes are correctly
aligned.
Step 6
Apply pressure to the NetFlow Services Card to seat the connectors.
Caution
Use care not to damage the connectors on the supervisor engine. If you damage a connector, you will
have to return the supervisor engine to Cisco for repair.
Caution
Step 7
Using the screws to seat the NetFlow Services Card could warp the card. Before you install and tighten
the securing screws, ensure that the NetFlow Services Card is fully seated by visually verifying that there
is no gap between the male and female keys on the connectors and that the bottom of the NetFlow
Services Card is in contact with the tops of the standoffs.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, install two screws at the front of the NetFlow Services Card and one screw
Note
Before installing the securing screws, visually verify that there are standoffs beneath the mounting holes.
Caution
You must install all the screws. The screws provide grounding between the NetFlow Services Card and
the module. Failure to install all screws will invalidate the safety approvals and pose a risk of fire and
electrical hazard.
Step 8
Step 9
Install the supervisor engine in the Catalyst 4500 series switch. (Refer to the Catalyst 4500 Series
Module Installation Guide for installation instructions.)
Power up the switch. If the switch comes online normally, the system has acknowledged the supervisor
engine and the NetFlow Services Card and has brought them online.
