I already have the AC power supply in, and a Supervisor III card (part # 
ws-x5530). 

Do you have a RSP?  I was wondering how that works.. It looks like I 
have CatalystOS on my Supervisor card.  Does IOS run on the RSP?  Do you 
know of any how-to sites for this switch platform?  I've been wading 
through cisco's site but there is just so much stuff its hard to find 
what is useful and whats not.
